Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:
29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you may now dismiss[a] your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all nations:
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and the glory of your people Israel.”
Eyes beaming
lifting up God’s grace
a promise fulfilled
the world’s salvation laced
Light illuminates the darkness
souls no longer bound
freedom from bondage
wrapped in a baby’s sound
A revelation
more precious than gold
salvation for believers
in the greatest story ever told
Father
Thank you for blessing us with the beautiful revelation of salvation. Thank you for the baby Jesus who changed everything.
Amen
