This week’s BDC will comprise of a number of Christmas Carols compiled by Susan Offer.
All too often we feel overloaded with them at this time of the year. It’s in one ear and out the other, lost in the glitz and commercialism in the shops and the frenetic pace of life.
How often to we really take time to ponder and marvel on the words? Use them to take some time out, slow down and meditate. Using our GPS principles, consider the questions following the song.
JOY TO THE WORLD
Joy to the world, the Lord is 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.
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
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.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
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.
GPS POINTS TO PONDER:
What does this song say about God?
- What are some of the wonders of His love in your life? Thank Him for them.
What does this song say about People?
- Do you see other people “employing their songs” to God? If not, why not?
What is the challenge of the song for you (Self) today?
- Is your heart “prepared”? Is there room for God?
