Open Arms of God by Joe Don Heath

I hope you enjoy this gift to our church family at Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church. The song ‘Open Arms Of God’ was written in the Advent Season of 2008. I was trying to capture the surprise and confusion in young Mary's heart when the angel Gabriel approached her with what can only be described as unbelievably shocking news (Luke 1:26-38). Mary, a gentle small-town girl, was chosen to be the mother of the Promised One, the Prince of Peace, the Savior of the World, the very Son of God! Can you even imagine? How would you respond?
Pastor Steve Harrington's Advent message on December 12, 2010 encouraged each of us to approach every day, every circumstance and every person we meet as the 'favored one' of God, which scripture assures each of us we are, indeed.
May you, dear favored one of God, experience joy and peace through the celebration of our Savior’s birth!
