Isaiah's Promise

               Isaiah's Promise                     

As stars shine on Bethlehem
Angels sing "Goodwill to men".
For to this day a New Light dawns
And Heaven and Earth rejoice in song.

A virgin has brought forth a Son-
"Jesus"....the Anointed One.
He will reign on David's throne
And Yahweh's love will be made known.

His rule on Earth will never cease-
This "Wonder Child", the Prince of Peace.
Both Jew and Gentile will believe-
He will bless all those in need.

The blind will see; the deaf will hear-
The lame will leap like a deer.
Joy will flow from muted tongues
For their songs will now be sung.

His loving grace will cleanse our sins;
Our hearts will then be born again.
By His wounds we will be healed
And by His life....the Truth revealed!
