'O Come O Come Emmanuel (How Long)' by Perry LaHaie: Rediscovering Our Yearning for Christ's Return

Perry LaHaie's rendition of the ancient carol 'O Come O Come Emmanuel' is a touching reminder of our collective longing for the Messiah, not only for His first coming but also His second. LaHaie's rendition of this powerful song invites us to reflect on our desire for Jesus' second coming.

A lament emerges from a sea of swirling melodies and poignant lyrics, echoing the cries of the prophets of old: 'How long, O Lord, till you bring justice to the earth, till you make all things right, till all the sad things come untrue?' It speaks to those of us who are overwhelmed by the world's suffering, transgressions, and injustices. We find comfort in a Father who hears, cares, and promises to heal all things when we surrender our feelings through lament.

The promise of His glorious return is at the heart of Perry's new vision of Emmanuel (meaning 'God with us'). This song reminds us that we are all bound together under the reign of the King of Peace in an interconnected world populated by various nations. It proclaims the unwavering faith that our longing and waiting will not be in vain.

I invite you to let 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' resonate in your heart, reminding you of God's promises, faithfulness, and coming victory.
