A New Christmas Favorite

Classic Christmas songs are my the soundtrack to my Decembers, but this year another song has won over my heart. Lauren Daigle's "Light of the World" has come on several times while I've been working on my lettering projects for this devotional. It echoes with Emmanuel all over it. Today, I encourage you to watch this song on youtube and reflect on the beautiful lyrics and music. I'd love to hear your reflections of the song in the comments below! Happy Sunday!

​Light of the World
by Lauren Daigle

​The world waits for a miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
A child prays for peace on Earth
And she's calling out from a sea of hurt
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel

And can you hear the angels singing

Glory to the light of the world
Glory, the light of the world is here

The drought breaks with the tears of a mother
A baby's cry is the sound of love
Come down, come down, Emmanuel
He is the song for the suffering
He is Messiah, the Prince of Peace has come
He has come, Emmanuel

Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
For all who wait
For all who hunger
For all who've prayed
For all who wonder
Behold your King
Behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Glo-glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Glory to the light of the world
Behold your King
Behold Messiah
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
​
The world waits for the miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come Emmanuel
