Hymn of the Week is back
This weekend we share two music reflections with you. We hope that these will help you on your Advent journey as we ‘Prepare a way for the Lord.’
Hilary has chosen Emmanuel by Buddy Caesar.
Emmanuel, your name brings us life,
Emmanuel, your birth a dawning light,
Sent to us a servant who listens to our call,
Emmanuel, God is with us now.
Emmanuel, your name brings us peace;
Emmanuel, you’re one within our reach,
Your life guides our way,
your love begins each day,
Emmanuel, God is with us now.
Emmanuel, a long-awaited name;
Emmanuel, life is not the same –
A new age has dawned,
your dreams will lead us on,
Emmanuel, God is with us now.
Emmanuel, God is with us, Emmanuel
And Bryan has recorded O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
We invite you to take some time out to listen to these and consider:
- what or who in your life makes you aware that ‘God is with us now’?
- how can you show God’s presence to others as we approach the coming of our Emmanuel?
