O Come, All You Unfaithful Song by Sovereign Grace Music

A few Christmases ago, I came across this new carol. Lisa Clow is the author along with Bob Kauflin from Sovereign Grace Music. I love the lyrics as they contrast the classic hymn "O Come All Ye Faithful". Not every Sunday over the last few years had been good. There had been really hard Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays to Sundays and some time for a period of time. Last weeks we went through some major changes and  feeling of doubt filled me. The Joy of Christmas is not that we have been faithful but God has been faithful despite our unfaithfulness.  

This carol tells us to Come. Come to Jesus, knowing we are not alone. He knows us, our state and our need and He is sufficient and enough for us. That is a promise we can hold on to. That I can hold on to in this and every season.

There is a story behind this carol and I have the extract below.

Finances were stressful, I miscarried twins, and on top of it I was battling a deep relational bitterness. My church was having their annual service where they kick off the Christmas season with carols and special songs and I, for once, was not singing. I told them that I wouldn’t be able to sing, but what they didn’t know is that I was too overcome with shame to stand on stage before my church.

That Sunday morning, I stood at my seat as they began to sing “O Come All Ye Faithful” and the first line of the song just clobbered me. It hit me like a giant wave of guilt.... Read more

This write up is made both in English and German as I want to practice my German.  'The Nativity' by Gari Melchers.  I am not an art expert and my critique is from a layman's point of view, but bear with me. I have tried reading some information about the art and the culture behind it and I have my two favourite blog posts about the same work and yes,  I have shamelessly copied some of their thoughts. Woebegone but Hopeful and other is by Lisa VO . Julius Garibaldi Melchers (August 11, 1860 – November 30, 1932) was an American artist. He was one of the leading American proponents of naturalism.
