A boy was He
Yet very God of very God,
A child, yet wiser than His years,
A boy was He
Yet very God of very God
The Lord's own Lamb appears.
A boy was He
Yet very God of very God,
A carpenter's apprentice skilled.
A boy was He
Yet very God of very God
The Lamb, His will fulfills.
Divinity breathing in air
With a boy's lungs,
Eternity eating a meal
With a boy's joy.
The Trinity coming to stay
In a boy's house,
In a boy's pain,
In a boy's world.
A boy was He
Yet very God of very God,
A Son loved deeply by His own
A boy was He
Yet very God of very God
The Lamb so far from home.
Eminence contained,
Immanence experienced,
Holiness explained in a boy!
Truth read clearly,
Love loved dearly,
God known nearly
In a boy!
A boy was He
Yet very God of very God
A child, yet wiser than His years,
A boy was He
Yet very God of very God
The Lord's own Lamb is here!

A Living Hope, Part 2 In practice, hope orients our lives around a better future. That is not to be escapist about the present but because there is a better future. And whatever we are going through now, there is a better future ultimately that we are going to experience and enjoy.
In this message, Charles Price looks at the hope of heaven and what we know about it—the place, permanence, and perfection of heaven in the little revealed about it in Scripture.
