Favoured 96

Isaiah 9:6

“His Name Shall Be Called...Wonderful”

This year has been wonderful

You may wonder how this could be true

With our hearts still grieving, friends and loved ones leaving

But, God’s grace and love have just kept shining through

Of Course, there has been rain, times of smiling through pain

Wondering what next I should do

But, when I interceded, I experienced God’s leading

Miraculously, almost too awesome to be true!

With my heart “full of wonder”, I kept following my star

Like the wise men of so long ago

Until I found the place, of God’s amazing grace

In the presence of the one I love so

Wrapped in swaddling clothes, as a babe, lain in a manger

My Savior has become my dearest friend

Emmanuel, God with us, is no longer a stranger

I’m filled with “Wonder” as our spirits blend!

Friend, as this year flies by, let’s you and I

Stay in touch, if only by prayer…

You’re still a part of my memories… My heart

A line here and there, reminds me of your love and care…

May God grant to you your most wonderful year

His love remaining forever the same

May each day be blessed with His righteousness

In Jesus, the most wonderful name!

May the wonder of Christmas fill our hearts with joy

As we reflect on His wonder-ful birth

host of angels descending, announcing God’s condescending

Heaven wonderfully kissing the earth!
