From eternity, God interrupted
The universe He created
Man from dust He made
Into him, the Spirit breathed
Freedom to man, He gave
Fallen man, He had to save
Again He interrupted
Blood from animal slaughtered
Abraham was contented
But God interrupted
Calling him out of his home
Leading him to a land of his own
Isaac, Jacob and the 12 tribes
God’s protecting hand to guide
The apple of His eye, He called them
Blessings or curses, how we treat them depend
Under the Egyptians, His people suffered
Again He interrupted
Rescuing them from slavery
Led by Moses, a man of bravery
A people ruled by kings and judges
Obstinate and rebellious
Yet God kept His covenant
Despite their behavior, He is the constant
Four hundred years of silence
Into the darkness, came the brilliance
God interrupted yet again
Bringing healing to a world in pain
A young couple betrothed to be married
A child conceived of the Spirit she carried
The promised Savior was in God’s mind
Dying on the cross to redeem mankind
May you be drawn to Christ this Christmas
Without Him, life is meaningless
Let Him rule in your heart
A subject of His Kingdom, be a part
