"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.
