Far as the curse is found

 "Far as the curse is found" is a line from Joy to the World.  It has been song over and over. 

Sometimes though, a line in a song jumps out at you. On this night, while sitting with my old friend at a Christmas concert, we sang Joy to the World.  And the words became active imagery, I could see why we sing Joy to the World, 

Far as the curse is found - where is the curse found?

The sadness as Adam and Eve leave paradise.

The hands of Cain after he took his brother's life.

The boy who chose a life of drugs.

The girl who secretly ate all her Halloween candy in a short time.

The couple who has given up on each other.

The woman who abuses with her tongue.

The curse has spread like a broken dam and seeped and spread everywhere.

The curse is found everywhere.

But God.

"He comes to make His blessings flow" - "far as the curse is found". Coving over every spot that sin has stretched and seeped into. He covers us.
