Christmas is a special time

To reflect on Jesus Christ,

The wonder of His lowly birth

Brings meaning to our lives

There really is no other reason,

We celebrate this day,

The birth of God’s precious son

And the life, He willingly gave

But so much seems to distract us

In the busyness of our lives,

We lose our focus in all the happenings,

Not knowing, we leave out Christ

We lose sight of the true meaning

As we endlessly rush about,

Trying to find that perfect gift,

Seems to cloud our Saviour out

We need to stop and reflect awhile,

Remembering our precious Lord,

His birth, His life and sacrifice

And all that He stands for

For though the world may celebrate,

It seems, though, for other reasons,

Let’s keep in mind that Jesus Christ

Is the true meaning of the season.

As a baby, Jesus came

From His home above

He left His throne, and who He was,

To teach us how to love

As a baby, Jesus came,

Wrapped in swaddling cloth;

Willingly took on humanity,

Though He was one with God

As a baby, Jesus came

To one day grow to be

The saviour of the human race,

People like you and me

As a baby, Jesus came

As God’s eternal light

That will never be extinguished,

But forever shine out bright

As a baby, Jesus came

The hope of eternal life,

Reconciling us back to God,

Giving meaning to our lives

As a man, Jesus died,

His blood poured out for all,

Cleansing and forgiving us,

For to this, He was called

We thank Him that He came a babe

And grew to be a man

And for His sacrificial love,

His nailed scarred feet and hands

Through it all we can live on

With Jesus Christ our Lord

The babe that came that first Christmas

Is what we thank Him for.
