Hark…do you hear what I hear?  Can it be?  Yes, it is!!
A song, a song, now here on my blog!  Wonderful, melodious music!
I’m so happy!  I finally figured it out…can you hear it?  I sure hope so! 
It’s definitely one of my favorites this, or any, time of the year! 
I have the title and the words below…the words in this song say it all,
and it touches the heart so very deeply!    

I hope you enjoy it, and as you’re listening, singing, or reading along, 
stop for a moment, and think, what it might have been like
to have been the mother of the Son of God…

…to have carried the One who came to carry you?  
…to have held the One who came to hold you? 
…to have fed the One who came to feed you? 
…to have nursed wounds of the One who came to heal you?

Mary pondered these things in her heart!  So should we!

 
MARY….DID YOU KNOW?

Mary, did you know,
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know,
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know,
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered
Will soon deliver you?

Mary, did you know,
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know,
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know,
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
You’ve kissed the face of God?

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see,
The deaf will hear,
And the dead will live again?
The lame will leap,
The dumb will speak,
The praises of the Lamb?

Mary, did you know,
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Did you know,
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know,
That your baby boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding
Is the Great I Am!

My Heart’s Cry
 
We all have a deep sense of longing in our hearts….
a void that is crying out to be filled.
So, now that it’s Christmas,
what are your heart felt desires,
what are you longing for?
What will truly satisfy,
and fill that void in your life?

My heart’s cry echoes a well known author in that,
I, too, just as so many of you,
have a deep longing for more
of the presence of God….

More of His voice in my ear,
More of His tears on my face,
More of His praise on my lips,
More of His Death in my life,
More of His hope in my grief,
More of His Life in my death,
More of His fruit in my service,
More of His love in my home,
More of His courage in my convictions,
More of His nearness in my loneliness,
More of His answers to my prayers,
More of His glory on my knees!

Can you add to this list?

God has already given me so much,
yet I long for more!
Until my faith becomes sight,
and I see Him face to face,
my heart’s cry will always be…
Please, dear God, just give me MORE…
                                     of Jesus!!

He is the only ONE that will fill that void,
with complete, and total satisfaction!

What is your heart’s cry today?
Longing, loving, living?
…are you longing for more of Jesus today?
…are you loving Him more deeply today?
…are you truly living for Jesus today?



“But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God
hath prepared for them that love Him”…. 
{…that long for Him…that live for Him!}
I Cor. 2:9
