Henry Wadsworth Longfellow composed the words to to this carol originally as a poem entitled "Christmas Bells". In many ways, the poem was written in response to heartbreak as Longfellow's wife died and his son sustained a crippling injury from war wounds. In the midst of his grief and pain, he penned these words of hope, "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep." Words befitting the hope that Micah's words in 5:2-5 offer the children of God in difficult and trying times. For all of us, there are times that seem overwhelming but Micah conveys to us another possibility and that is to wait and trust expectantly that our God is at work.
