For Unto Us
For unto us
a child is born
to us, a son was given.
With anticipation we
waited thousands of
years for our promised
messiah.
Our anticipated moment
had arrived. With the birth
of the one who was named
Jesus. Emmanuel, God with
us.
We needed a Savior. And we
call him wonderful, counselor,
mighty God, everlasting Father,
prince of peace.
With justice and righteousness
we put our hope in him.
Mary and Joseph. In your wildest
Dreams, did you know that the child
You carried, held, and nurtured would grow up
To save us all?
