I picked out a couple songs for our home group to sing when we went Christmas Caroling at our Christmas party the other night. Songs were O come O come Emmanuel, Angels we have heard on high, Joy to the world and Silent Night. When I play music for our home group I usually like to share my reflections on the songs before we sing them. I was very encouraged by the song set and wanted to journal about my reflections.

O come, O come Emmanual is a song about Israel desiring that a Saviour would come and set them free from their bondage
Angels we have heard on high is a song about Angels and Shepards giving praise to God that the Savior has been born
Joy to the World is a song expressing the joy in receiving our Savior’s reign over the curse
Silent Night is a song about baby Jesus in the manger at his birth

Simple enough right? We’ve sung these song over and over, though, I really enjoyed taking some time to not just sing them again this year but really consider what’s being sung. Our Savior has come to set us free from death’s reign. Let’s celebrate the season giving praise to our God that he has sacrificed himself that we might live eternally giving him praise and honor.

Merry Christmas!
