Child is Born
|
For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (New Living Translation)
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (New International Version)
For a child has been born—for us!
the gift of a son—for us!
He’ll take over
the running of the world.
His names will be: Amazing Counselor,
Strong God,
Eternal Father,
Prince of Wholeness.
Isaiah 9:6 (The Message)

Set aside your burden at my manger.
I have come to give My Love to you.
Set aside your fears,
put away your tears.
Have I not promised by my arrival,
eternal, everlasting joy to you.
Light beyond sight,
sound in tune with angels’ voices,
singing in My Love for you.
Come closer and bathe in my light.
Look into my eyes and see the innocence,
in the truth of My Love,
and care for you,
now and forever.
My deepest thanks and appreciation to Kent the owner of this site, who gives numberous hours of his time for this non-profit ministry which serves the christian spirit of others.
