This is War.
One of the most powerful Christmas songs I've ever heard (and the video is pretty moving itself).
The gunfire, the shots, the injustice, the battle, the war, the sadness, the shadows, the darkness -- they will all cease, they will take a knee, they will bow to the King. The darkness will cease in light of the King. He has come. And He's coming again. And He rides on the clouds of victory. Redemption rings out from a manger in Bethlehem to all nations, to the ends of the earth, for all people.
"This is war like you ain't seen.
This winter's long; it's cold and mean.
With hangdog hearts, we stood condemned,
but the tide turns now at Bethlehem.
This is war, and born tonight, the Word as flesh -- the Lord of Light.
The Son of God, the low-born King -- who demons fear, and of whom angels sing.
This is war on sin and death;
the dark will take its final breath.
It shakes the earth, confounds all plans
-- the mystery of God as man."

One of the Best of Its Kind
Advent: God With Us from The Village Church on Vimeo.
"In their waiting, they had hope. Hope that was fully pledged to a God they had not seen, to a God that had promised a king. A king who would reign over the enemy, over Satan's tyranny."
