Before Christ came into the world, followers of God had to offer continual sacrifices and holocausts in a vain attempt to please God. Christ changed that. He taught us that what pleases God is our love and the expression of our love to him and to each other. If we want to please God, let us praise him and love those around us. That is what this verse means to me. In it I see the two great commandments: Love God with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. For if we love God with all of our heart, mind, soul and strength, we will naturally want to praise him, and if we love our neighbor as ourself we most surely will be going the right way.
He raises a wrinkled hand
Through the dust and the flies
Wrapped in rags like we are
And with barely open eyes
He takes my finger
And he won't let go
And he won't let go
It's nothing like I knew before
And it's all I need to know
Come let us adore him
He has come down to the world we live in
And all I have to give Him
Is Adoration
God is with us here
Our Emmanuel
God is with us here
Our EmmanuelNEWSBOYS- "Adoration"
