Theme: Incarnation

The mystery of the Incarnation — that the eternal Son of God took on flesh and lived among us — is not just a Christmas truth. It is the permanent, staggering testimony of what God was willing to become for love of us. Songs about the Incarnation celebrate this mystery: that God became what we are so we could become what He is. They belong in Advent and Christmas with particular richness, but they are powerful throughout the year as reminders that Christianity is not a spiritual escape from matter but a celebration of God's radical commitment to it. These songs help congregations inhabit the wonder of a God who did not send a message — He came Himself, fully, permanently, for us.
