{"product_id":"so-you-sent-your-son","title":"So You Sent Your Son","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristmas is the beginning. The end is eternal life with God as He always intended for those who choose it. This means Christmas is the beginning of the fulfillment of God’s greatest promise: to rescue us from all that is hard here, in order to be with Him there forever. A place of no more tears! Free. In joy. Peace. Wounds healed. Grief over. Justice served. Reunion. A journey we cannot make by ourselves. Christmas is hope because of Jesus. Because God sent His Son as Savior of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have these ideas of what Christmas should look like. We have projected expectations onto gatherings, food, gifts, decorations and especially relationships, which are not necessarily about the birth of Jesus at all. Cultural ideals. However, life this side of heaven is filled with brokenness. For many, Christmas does not look the way our culture implies that it should. Yet it’s still Christmas. Therefore, the song prayers on this fourth Christmas worship album are for anyone who wants to worship God during this holy season while going deeper into the meaning of Christmas for increased closeness to the Lord. These songs are also especially to give words and melodies to those who hurt and need a way to consider Christmas which is real and relevant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMerry, blessed Advent and Christmastide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~ Elizabeth Fulgaro, Pentecost Vigil, May 19, 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe desert and the parched land will be glad, the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy…they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God. Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow. And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there, nor any ravenous beast; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, and those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. (Isa. 35:1-10)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSee, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind…I will rejoice…and take delight in my people, the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. (Isa. 65:17-19)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders.
