Did I finally do this right???

 

Man...I had to freehand type that link in there since the board isn't giving me permission to do copy pastes lately.

 

A good friend of mine (Thanks Tom!) got me hooked on this one, especially the piano/cello in this

 

This one is one of my favorites now

What a great blessing this is!  You made my day!  I'm listening to this over and over again.  Definitely one of my most favorite songs!

 If you get the chance you should check out Selah's version.  It is also quite beautiful.  I would post it here if I knew how.  The last time I tried it was disastrous!   I do not want to make that mistake again!

 

I decided to do a little research on the song to see who had written it and this is what I found:  

 

O come, O come, Emmanuel is the mid-19th century translation by John Mason Neale and Henry Sloane Coffin of the Ecclesiastical Latin text "Veni, veni, Emmanuel".  It is a metrical version of the O Antiphons from the final week of Advent vespers, which now serves as a popular hymn.
 
Its origins are unclear: it is thought that the antiphons are from at least the 8th Century, but "Veni, veni Emmanuel" may well be 12th century in origin.
 
The text is based on the biblical prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 that states that God will give Israel a sign that will be called Immanuel (Lit.: God with us). Matthew 1:23 states fulfillment of this prophecy in the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.
 
The first verse also appears to be based on Psalm 137 in which people of Judah are bemoaning their captivity in Babylon.  Their captors had required them to sing some of their songs from their glory days to which their reply in verse 4 was, "How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a foreign land?"
 
Lyrical English Translation
 
O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear.
 
 Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!  
 
O come, Thou Wisdom, from on high, and order all things far and nigh; to us the path of knowledge show, and teach us in her ways to go.
 
 Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!  
 
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might, who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height in ancient times did give the law in cloud and majesty and awe. 
 
 Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!  
 
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse's stem, from ev'ry foe deliver them that trust Thy mighty power to save, and give them vict'ry o'er the grave. 
 
 Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!  
 
O come, Thou Key of David, come and open wide our heav'nly home; make safe the way that leads on high that we no more have cause to sigh. 
 
 Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!  
 
O come, Thou Dayspring from on high, and cheer us by thy drawing nigh; disperse the gloomy clouds of night and death's dark shadow put to flight. 
 
 Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!  
 
O come, Desire of the nations, bind in one the hearts of all mankind; bid every strife and quarrel cease and fill the world with heaven's peace. 
 
 Rejoice! Rejoice!  Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!  (repeat x 5)
 
 
Wishing you all a joyous Christmas filled with God's great peace.
 
In Christ,
PrairWarur

Hey sorry about that PrairWarur I dont know how I missed your post, didnt mean to ignore you on purpose. Me too, Tom made my day when he posted it and kept playing (over and over and over again) LOL

 

Oh and I love Selah, they are a favorite of mine and you are right, that version is very beautiful! I will post it for you if I can

Did it work? Yep! I previewed and it worked! And yes you are right, this one is beautiful, thanks so much!

 

Now I typically will avoid listening to alot of (what is called) Christmas songs with words in them (or anything that sounds too christmasy) even around Christmas time because I can never hold it together. I just get too emotional lol

 

But I never thought of this one as one of those believe it or not. Im weird I betcha

 

Thanks for that one, and God richly bless you PrairWarur!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
