For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
There He lays, newborn with His family, come to save us from our sins.
But not just a child... He is a king.
We think Him tender and mild yet He is our Creator.
Infant hands sleeping curled, will raise the dead, calm stormy seas.
The voice that with words created the world is quieted as His mother sings.
A prophet of old called this child great things with titles so bold they could not fit earthly kings.
A Wonderful Counselor now held close in mothers arms would calm our souls secure in the Father's forgiving love.
The Mighty God, our Creator majesty would be considered odd by those He came to free.
Everlasting Father from eternity past teaches us what will matter for eternity yet ahead.
Prince of Peace sleeping peacefully would bring release from sin's tyranny.
