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!

He Promised Me, Part 1 When man makes promises, he rarely follows through. God, on the other hand, can make promises the size of eternity, and He always follows through! God promised David that He would give him a throne that would never pass away. God promised to bring a new covenant to His people through David’s line, a covenant that would bring an eternity where there are no broken promises.
In this message, we learn of God’s faithfulness in His grand promises. We can trust His promises because they are based on His unfailing love!
