'Tis the Season!
Kinda got away from posting songs earlier this year. Not sure why, other than I was weary… Work, theater, politics…they all combined, along with residual effects of losing my father last year, to create a somewhat lingering melancholy.
And now it's the Holiday Season! Oh, how the depression wants to set in…
But, this season… I will fight for Joy! I will press in… and press on.
In spite of the tendency to melancholy, I do love this time of year. I like the cooler weather, sweater weather. I love the lights, the spectacle. I've already got my Christmas tree up! Yes, I'm one of those people.
It's a season of expectation. We celebrate the anticipation of the Christ Child's birth, His coming into the world, Emmanuel, God with us. And as we celebrate the season, we do so with great anticipation of His coming again. (e'en so Lord, come quickly…)
I recently downloaded a free album from Relevant Magazine. It's their annual Christmas gift to their readers. And, as usual, it has some powerful songs from some amazing artists. I'll probably share more songs from the album, but this first one had me with the title and I know I need to share it tonight… for so many reasons.
