A  Sweeping View

After spending some time unable to speak, Zachariah praised God out of joy for his new born son whom we know as John the Baptist. During Advent a couple years ago, I made it a point to view the coming of the Messiah through his eyes.

  Zechariah's Song

(From Luke 1:68-79)  

 

Blest be the Lord of Israel  

A mighty savior has been sent

Here now his people to redeem  

The Son of David his servant  

 

Of him the ancient prophets told  

Who will rescue us from our foes  

The promise of God's mercies will  

Break the power of hatred's woes

  

Before our God we now may serve  

In holiness and righteousness  

Proclaim knowledge of salvation  

Through the gift of sins' forgiveness  

 

Out of love and tender mercy  

The light of Heaven's dawn does glow 

On those in the darkest valley  

So they the path of peace will know
