Francesca Battistelli - O come, O come, Emmanuel


Francesca Battistelli - O come, O come, Emmanuel


Dec. 23, 2018

Dear LoveMusic! listeners,

May our heart's cry be that the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, reveal Himself continually to His Chosen Ones, the Jews of Israel, and those yet to make aliyah (immigrate to the Promised Land).

And thank you, Francesca, for your beautiful gift of music!

Come again, Lord!

Ahava and shalom,

O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny From depths of Hell thy people save And give them victory o'er the grave Rejoice! [...] O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer Our spirits by thine advent here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight.

LoveMusic! - Emmanuel (Michael W Smith & Amy Grant- w/lyrics)


Emmanuel - Michael W Smith & Amy Grant


Dec. 4, 2018

Greetings LoveMusic! friends.

Michael W. Smith. Amy Grant. Two of the best ever gifts the Lord Jesus has given us in the contemporary Christian music world. Thank you Lord!

Emmanuel is another grand favorite of mine to listen to often, and sing, during the Christmas season. Once again beautiful words declared in song, telling us of the Messiah's coming the first time, Jesus/Yeshua, when God became flesh and dwelt among us the first time. Emmanu-EL - God with us.

As we await with open eyes and hearts His soon return, rejoice in the salvation, mercy, grace and love He so freely gives to us, and all who call upon His glorious Name.

And again thank you, Amy and Michael! Job well done!

Ahava and shalom,

LoveMusic! - Amy Grant - Emmanuel God With Us - video


Amy Grant - Emmanuel God With Us


Dec. 3, 2018

Greetings LoveMusic! lovers of good music.

Amy Grant - what can I say? For several decades she has blessed us with her beautiful, contemporary Christian music. From her beginning as a young teenager singer at Belmont Church in Nashville, Tenessee, with Michael W. Smith, she has given the world the love of Jesus to share.

Thank you, Amy, for all the worshipful and uplifting songs you have brought us. Thank you especially for this song, Emmanuel God With Us. It is truly one of my all-time favorites, not only during the Christmas season but throughout the year. 

For indeed, our Savior, the Messiah Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, is always with us! He reigns on His everlasting heavenly throne and is coming back again to this world. Back to Jerusalem. Soon!

Ahava and shalom,

A Christmas Carol of Carols - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

A Christmas Carol of Carols

Now Think On This
Steve Martin

I am sure this has been done before, but the thought came to arrange the titles of some Christmas carols into a poem, and see what story can be told just by using them. I like how the Holy Spirit gives us “random” thoughts. Isn’t it great how He speaks to us!

And so I did as He suggested. I went to Wikepedia, searched for a list of English Christmas carol titles, and put them in the following arrangement. I am sure you could re-arrange them into another poem. Try it and let me know!

And so I share my new creation…and give thanks to the songwriters of old.


A Christmas Carol of Carols

O come, O come, Emmanuel;
Love came down at Christmas.
O little town of Bethlehem
It came upon the midnight clear.

Mary’s little boy child,
With wondering awe, the wisemen saw.
Star of the East -
Glory to God.

Jesus Christ the apple tree;
Joy to the world.
Hark the herald angels sing;
Mary did you know?

Angels we have heard on high,
Away in a manger.
Do you hear what I hear?
Go tell it on the mountain.

I heard the bells on Christmas day;
Carol of the bells.
O come, all ye faithful,
Bethlehem down.

Children, go where I send thee,
The little drummer boy.
While shepherds watched their flocks,
Far, far away on Judea’s plains.

Gabriel’s message:
The first noel.
Come thou long expected Jesus,
Once in Royal David’s City.

O holy night,
Silent night.
What child is this?
Glory to God.

God rest ye merry gentlemen,
Christians awake.
I pray on Christmas
As with gladness, men of old.


It amazes me how the historical story of Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, can be simply shared through just the titles of English Christmas carol titles. Some of the songs I had never heard of, but the rest are sung often, even today, centuries past their origin dates.

I did use one Christmas carol title twice. Did you notice? Hint: I give God the glory for His awesome creativity that He shares with us, as He is always a loving, giving Father.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, from our family.

O come O come Emmanuel! We know that once again You will!

Now think on this, with His love and mine,

Rediscovering Jesus in the Christmas Madness - J. Lee Grady

Nativity scene
It's discouraging for believers when Disney Christmas ornaments outsell nativity scenes. (iStock photo)
I've often wondered what extraterrestrial aliens would think if they came to earth during December and watched people celebrate Christmas. Would they be able to figure out what this holiday season is about? I doubt it.
Today the story of Jesus' birth is pretty much buried under tons of stringed lights, crass materialism, political correctness and songs about cold weather (which is odd, considering the fact that most people in the world celebrate Christmas in warm climates). Somehow we forgot the point of this celebration.
I proved this last week when I went to a large store to find a nativity scene. This well-known discount retailer had rows and rows of Christmas trees, Disney ornaments (because anything with a Frozen theme sells), Hello Kitty ornaments, martini ornaments (Christmas is about drinking?), inflatable penguins, Santa Claus toilet seats, Darth Vader nutcrackers, reindeer oven mitts and battery-operated Christmas hats.
But no nativity scene. When I asked a manager why they didn't have any, he said apologetically: "You're right. We should probably stock those."
But I'm not going to depend on Target, Wal-Mart or Macy's to show me the real meaning of this season. I always read the gospel accounts of Jesus' birth in Matthew and Luke during the month of December so I can rediscover the miracle of the Incarnation.
I encourage you to study those passages as well. And as you do, meditate on these seven different names of Jesus that are recorded in the Christmas story:
1. He is the Son of David (Matt. 1:1). Matthew's gospel, which was written primarily to Jews, stresses that Jesus was in the royal lineage of Israel's kings. The genealogy that appears in Matthew 1 traces Joseph, the husband of the virgin Mary, to David's line—and then back to Abraham. Even though Jesus was not the biological son of Joseph, He could legally claim the family name. He was King of the Jews in the truest sense; yet unlike the sinful kings of Israel, Jesus was the perfect ruler—and His kingdom will never end.
2. He is the Son of Adam (Luke 3:38). Luke's gospel, written to a Gentile audience, focuses on Jesus' humanity. And the genealogy that appears in Luke 3:23-38 is not about kingly succession. Instead, it traces Jesus' lineage through Mary's family tree and goes all the way to Adam—establishing the case that Jesus was a descendant of the first man. Through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit, God's eternal Word impregnated Mary, making her child both God and man. Yet Jesus, unlike Adam, never disobeyed God. He remained sinless so He could sacrifice His life for us.
3. He is Emmanuel (Matt. 1:23). An angel told Joseph in a dream that Mary would conceive a son miraculously—and that His name would be Emmanuel, which means, "God with us." Wrapped up in this name is the mystery of the Incarnation. Jesus is, as John's gospel emphasizes, the Word that "became flesh" (John 1:14). He was with God before the creation of the world as the glorious firstborn Son, but He left the glory of heaven to dwell among sinners on earth.
4. He is Jesus, the Savior (Matt. 1:21). The angel told Mary she would give birth to the "holy child" and that she would call him Jesus, which is the Greek form of the name Joshua (or Yeshua in Hebrew). Jesus means "the Lord saves." Just as Joshua in the Old Testament succeeded Moses and took God's people across the Jordan into the Promised Land, Jesus led us out of the wilderness of sin and ushered us "by grace" and "through faith" (Eph. 2:8) into the blessings of salvation.
5. He is the Prince of Peace (Isa. 9:6). Angels said to the shepherds in Bethlehem: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased" (Luke 2:14). This harkens back to Isaiah's ancient prophecy that the Messiah would institute peace on earth. The gift of Christ was, in fact, the greatest peace treaty ever enacted. Wherever the true gospel of Christ is preached and believed, hatred is uprooted in human hearts and wars and violence cease.
6. He is the Light of the Gentiles (Luke 2:32). Simeon, the old prophet who met Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus outside the temple in Jerusalem, recognized that the long-awaited Son of God was not sent just to Israel but to all people. Jesus' mission was a global one. This was also confirmed by the visit of the mysterious magi—wise men from a Gentile country who bowed before the Christ child and honored him as a true king. They knew that some day this King would be worshipped everywhere.
7. He is the Messiah, Christ the Lord (Luke 2:11). This is how the angel described Jesus when he spoke to the shepherds in Bethlehem. The word "Christ" means "the anointed one"; the Hebrew word is Ha-Mashiach, or Messiah. It speaks of the Deliverer God promised to send to earth. Abraham saw Him from a distance; King David sang and prophesied of Him; Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Micah, Haggai, Malachi and many other prophets foretold His coming. He was not only anointed by the Holy Spirit to heal the sick and raise the dead during His short time on earth; He was anointed to die on the cross for our sins and to be raised from the dead so that we could live with Him forever.
Amid this crazy holiday madness we endure every year, let's simplify. Filter out all the noise about snow, elves, gift cards, holiday sales and buying sprees and instead rediscover the point. Find the manger scene again—and put Jesus in the middle of your Christmas.
