Cruisin’ the East End
Serving Pipe Creek, Lakehills and Mico
By Vicki L. George
The Bandera Prophet
“O Come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel, who mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Emmanuel has come to thee, O Israel.”
This song confirms the old prophet Simeon, as recorded in Luke 2: 30-32, when he said, “For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”
Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad!
