Christmas....

Christmas can be special
Christmas can be sad...
Christmas can bring a sudden tear,
Or Christmas can make us glad.

But to all my friends at Christmas
This is my wish for you...
That God will richly bless,
And that His love will surround you.

For long ago in a manger
A little babe was born...
The king of all the earth,
Knew poverty and scorn.

Yes the angels sang and worshipped,
At our lowly Saviours birth...
But to the world He was a stranger,
While He traversed on this earth.

He came to seek the lonely,
The lost one's from the fold.
For in His heart so tender,
He had blessings to unfold.

That wanted to redeem man,
From his ruin and his fall...
This we know because to provide it,
He gave to us His all.

Yes, when on the cross He suffered,
Agonies we ne're will know...
So that we could be in heaven,
That place of joy untold.

Himself He offered for us,
When He died upon the tree.
And I ask myself in wonder,
How He ever could love me.

But I'll always thank the Giver.
For the gift of gifts He gave...
When He died upon the cross,
And freely... Himself gave.
