How Many Kings by Downhere
I first heard this song during the Christmas season of 2007. The first time I heard it, I was driving by myself and I bursted into tears. I love songs that are about God. I know that sounds oddly obvious, but let me explain. There are a lot of songs that are about how we ought to worship, how we need to love more, etc. There are also songs that imagine what God would say to us. There are songs about what we want to say to God. I like the ones that just simply talk about the character of God. What this song says to me is that a Great King was born as a simple Child. So simple. And then He went and laid down His life for me - a nobody. Who would do that?!
The Feast of Epiphany is a celebration to commemorate the day that the wise men met Jesus. It is commonly observed on January 6th (which also happens to be my mom's birthday, so it's easy for me to remember). I like to celebrate this holiday because it signifies the moment a person becoming cognizant of how insignificant s/he is in this big picture. There is such a juxtaposition between the wise men and the simple Child...the sinners facing their Savior.
What is it that's so important in my life that I can't set aside time for God?
