Beholding Christmas (or Joy's Supremacy)
6-7
For unto us a child is born,unto us a son is given,and the government will be upon His shoulders.And He will be calledWonderful Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Of the increase of His government and peacethere will be no end.He will reign on the throne of Davidand over his kingdom,to establish and sustain itwith justice and righteousnessfrom that time and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.

The more we try the less it seems we can comprehendthe vastness of God's everlasting love!
That's why there are SO many poems and hymnscomposed, trying to put into wordswhat words can never fully express-of worship enough to fill eternity!Hallelujah!
Behold the love/Son of GodBorn for sin’s sacrificeTo bear hatred’s most cruel rodTo pay salvation’s price
Behold Bethlehem’s BoyRedemption’s humble KingWho knew good tidings of great joyWould cost Him everything
Behold, the Prince of PeaceBehold the zeal of HeWhose grief accomplished the increaseOf His/joy's supremacy
Behold HumilityChild of Mary’s travailI AM fulfilling prophecyIn minutest detail
Behold, hope’s Star unfurledKneel at the manger, thenBehold, the Saviour of the worldBehold Christmas. Amen
Behold, a child is bornBehold, a Son is giv'nTo pierce hell's darkness with a ThornThat lights the Wick of Heav'n

Micah 5:4And He shall stand and feed[] His flock
In the strength of the Lord,
In the majesty of the name of the Lord His God;
And they shall abide,
For now He shall be great
To the ends of the earth;
