IMMANUEL

Unbelief is a choice that one makes in the heart;

It is a rejection of faith in God, on man’s part.

There is no reason to disbelieve God at any time;

Unbelief is an expression of a heart that is blind.

 

God in His mercy has not given up on mankind;

He continues to show grace to man who is blind.

He offers a great sign that compels belief in the Lord;

A Virgin shall conceive and bear the Son of God.

 

That special offspring would be called Immanuel;

He would come and save the world and Israel.

He would dispel the darkness that is in the heart;

To all who would believe, great grace He imparts.

 

Unbelief brings nothing but sorrow and strife;

Faith in Immanuel results in eternal life.

As we celebrate Advent, let us be thankful;

To the Son of God, may we be ever grateful.
