“Sweet little Jesus boy

They made You be born in a manger

Sweet little Holy Child

We didn’t know who You were

Didn’t know You’d come to save us, Lord

To take our sins away

Our eyes were blind

We couldn’t see

We didn’t know it was You

Long time ago

You were born

Born in a manger, Lord

Sweet little Jesus boy

The world treats You mean, Lord

Treats me mean, too

But that’s how things are down here

We didn’t know it was You”
Anne Murray

We enter this time of year with hopes and dreams
of all that should be

We enter into Your Courts of Praise and face it,
we still don’t know Who You are

We praise You as if You are Santa Claus imparting gifts
for good little boys and girls

We separate You from Your teachings of Holiness
and Righteousness
so that we no longer worship the ONE TRUE GOD

When prophets of these times come and speak Your Truth

they are sent out and despised, treated as evil lepers

And yet, it is Your Holiness and Your Words
within the Prophets which are despised

How far have we fallen that we allow
men to pervert Your Sanctuary
and these are the men who are followed and lauded
throughout this country

Who are we that we can no longer recognize the wolves
in our midst?

Are we truly sons and daughters of God?

Do we know the Power of the Cross?

For there will be no Resurrection until our death is complete

I promise you this, people

How can you gather and pretend to praise God
when you have no concept of the price He paid for your redemption?

Embrace the Cross - wholeheartedly

THEN - His Courts and Heart will be open to our Praise.

May we be made Worthy to Praise You, my KING!
