Letzten Samstag war ich an einem Gospelkonzert. Ein Lied hat mich dort besonders berührt und mir wurde ganz klar, was Weihnachten bedeutet. Nur wenn ich weiss, dass mein Erlöser auch heute noch lebt, macht Weihnachten überhaupt Sinn. Weihnachten ohne lebenden Erlöser ist nur ein stressiges Fest.
Hier der Text des Liedes:
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
and Who told the ocean you can only come this far?
and Who showed the moon where to hide ’til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Well I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifys
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives yeah
The very same God that spins things in orbit
runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I’ll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He’s alive and
There’s an empty grave
Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer,
I know my Redeemer
I know my Redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
I know that I know that I know that I know that I know my redeemer lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
I Know I know
He lives he lives yeah i spoke with him this morning
he lives he lives, the tomb is empty,
he lives I gotta tell everybody
