joy to the world

joy to the world,the lord has come

let earth receive her king

let every heart prepare him room

and heaven and nature sing,

and heaven and nature sing,

and heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

.... he rules the world with truth and grace,

and makes the nations prove

the glories of his righteousness,

and wonders of his love,

and wonders of his love,

and wonders, wonders of his love.

as i was listening to christmas carols around the house this song came on and kinda just hit me.

the lord jesus came to this earth for us.

the greatest gift.

and we get to celebrate this event thousands of years later.

with that, let us prepare our hearts over the next few evenings 

and be reminded the true purpose of christmas
