From the beginning of time God had a plan
A plan that would surely redeem the sinful man
It's God's Plan
But the master of deception said come and eat
The knowledge you will gain will be your treat
It's God's Plan
Now the sinful fall begin to show in all the land
And the evil one said to all catch me if you can
It's God's Plan
First came the Prophets with speech so bold
Telling of a Savior whose love would be foretold
It's God's Plan
Then came the little one born in a stable so fair
Suddenly the announcement was told everywhere
It's God's Plan
As time passed the young child became of age
Preaching and teaching became the world stage
It's God's Plan
Evil ones within the land tried to stop the message
Telling the people it was causing much damage
It's God's Plan
So from a cruel cross He was taken and laid to rest
In three days He arose to life thus standing the test
It's God's Plan
For a short time He did move throughout the land
Appearing to the followers and Disciples first hand
It God's Plan
Then in a blink of an eye it was time to say good bye
But not to worry when returning He would split the sky
It's God's Plan
Suddenly the Spirit Comforter like fire did appear
Followers with unknown tongues spoke very clear
It's God's Plan
Now is was time for the church to take a firm hold
Preaching, testifying and singing becoming so bold
It's God's Plan
The houses became a Holy sanctuary in all the land
As the great band of Christians forever took a stand
It's God's Plan
Centuries have come and gone since it all began
Sad to say many church's have started to disband
It's God's Plan
What has happened to the Bible and the scripture way
Some believers have left but many others did stay
It's God's plan
A time is coming when the Spirit will no longer strive
When no more believers will be left here to survive
It's God's plan
For the sky will split wide open to the heavens we go
With hearts gladly singing and our faces all aglow
It's God's plan
Many left behind to their knees will mournfully pray
Please Lord give us another tine give us another day
It's God's Plan
Doubters hiding in the rocks and mountains to stay
Not knowing if and when there will be another day
It's God's plan
Meantime believers will be enjoying the marriage feast
Sitting with the Lord listening to the most high Priest
It's God's Plan
Yes Glory Land has no calendars nor clocks at hand
We will all be with our Savior forever to take a stand
It's God's Plan

Do you ever wonder how Christmas figures  in God's eternal plan for mankind ? Being a devote Jew, Joseph would have been waiting for the promised "Messiah".  Not ever thinking that the promised One, through the Holy Spirit, would be born of his fiancée. And this child  would be known as "Emmanuel (Luke 1:21,23).  That  his long promised King would be born in a stable, and be visited by lowly shepherds and kings  alike.

So, let us look how God's planned only begotten Son (John 3:16) was described.  The apostle John said in his gospel that God became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14).  And the writer of Hebrews wrote that Jesus became human to fully identify with mankind (Hebrews 2:14) (Hebrews 4:14-16).

And do you ever wonder if God understands your life? Well, wonder no more! Because the beauty and majesty of the Christmas season is that Mary gave birth to Emmanuel,  the God who became one of us (Matthew 1:23) .May this truth give us all hope as we celebrate the first coming of the God-with-us God!

Yes, from the beginning to the end, the Christmas story was in the thick of God's sovereign plan.

" For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).
