Literacy Musing Mondays ~ Songs of Wonder

Christmas is a time of sheer wonder for me. I often wonder what Jesus' earthly life was like.

What was it like leaving a throne and entering a womb?

What was it like trading riches for rags, taking on flesh, living as Immanuel, God with us, yet being rejected by so many, even those who claimed to serve You.

What was it like living among humans, perfectly loving sinners without condoning sin?

I wonder what it was like for Mary, Joseph, and even Jesus' siblings.

Have you ever wondered things like this?

I'm so glad that that there are songwriters who've captured the essence of this wonder of mine. :) I know there are lots more songs, but here are three songs of wonder that I enjoy listening to each year.
