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
let men their songs employ
while fields and floods
rocks, hills and plains
repeat the sounding joy
repeat the sounding joy
repeat, repeat the sounding joy
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 and wonders of his love
and wonders of his love
and wonders of his love
and wonders and wonders of his love
Joy to the world! The Lord has come:

and heaven and nature sing
and heaven and heaven and nature sing.
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.
Most everyone is familiar with
the Christmas carol above, which says joy is coming to the world and the reason
is because of the birth of the Savior. He is the King
of kings and Lord of lords. Let earth receive her king. Earth’s king is the
One, Who created heaven and earth: Jesus Christ.
During this season, people are scurrying about in preparation
for Christmas day with much shopping for gifts, food, trees, decorations, and
other things that will enhance their homes and lawns. Preparing their hearts
and making room for the Lord is not a priority. Many people look at Christmas
as another holiday, while others (including me) consider this special day a
holy day of worship and celebration. When
we prepare Him room, we can sing with heaven and nature of His majesty.
The Savior reigns in the hearts of many, who have become born
again Christians. Christmas is the time for us to sing praises to our Savior
along with His creations: fields, floods, rocks, hills, plains repeat their
sound of joy!
Satan, the prince of this world, rules the world with
deception, wickedness and lies {John 14:30}. The Savior rules the world with
truth and grace and makes the nations show proof of His righteousness and the
wonders of His love.
Another song sung during this season says that Santa Claus is
coming to town. Well, we know that Santa isn’t really coming, although, many
parents have their children anticipating his arrival to leave
presents under their Christmas tree. The Lord came as a newborn babe-- born of a young
virgin named Mary over 2,000 years ago. The message of this carol rings loud
and clear. It heralds the Lord’s arrival into the world; after His birth in a
lowly manger.
CHRISTMAS is a season of joy and the wonders of the love of
God, Who gave His only begotten Son to redeem the world (John 3:16).
