WHAT WAS CHRISTMAS FOR?

NOW WITH CHRISTMAS OVER.....



What Was Christmas For?

What was Christmas truly for,

as on the Season we close that door?

 

As a New Year for all starts,

and the Christmas Season now departs.

Does the Christmas spirit depart,

from each and every human heart?

 

As Christmas trim is tucked away,

will the spirit in some hearts stay?

Was Christmas truly meant for this,

for once a year to change gifts?

 

Especially within the hearts of us,

who in The Savior place our trust?

Shouldn’t Christmas that we know,

be His Light in us for all to show,

 

The Truth and life we have in Him,

who came to dwell forever within?

Should not Christmas be a song,

we sing in our hearts all year long?

 

As in our hearts we joyfully sing,

to Jesus Christ, our Lord and King.

A song which should never leave,

the heart of those who do believe,

 

Saved by Grace from this world,

with that Christmas Song to herald.

A song we sing all year through,

as The Spirit moves in me and you,

 

To be a light men need each day,

not just thought of Christmas day,

Song and light, throughout the year,

which every man needs to hear,

 

This, so men may see their need,

that God’s message they will heed.

Some men desire Christmas in July,

but, did you ever question why?

 

A time when gifts aren’t bought at all;

could it be music to their soul?

Maybe the songs that they heard,

moved their hearts to God’s Word,

With a message, when not ignored,

could draw any soul to The Lord.

GREAT AND MIGHTY

Great And Mighty

Great and mighty is The Lord,

while loved by many and adored,

For all that He’s done for us, our Lord and Savior,

 

Christ Jesus;When in Him we put our trust,

sinners destined to return to dust,

He granted to us a New Birth,

providing to us our Eternal Worth.

 

Now seated in Heaven above,

He’s so deserving of all our love,

Reigning from a Throne on high,

Lord and Creator, of you and I;

 

Of all life Christ is the Creator,

and to many Christ is our Savior,

  This when we’re moved by Grace,

To accept God’s love by faith.

 

Ruling over every single nation,

is the Author of man’s salvation,

Aware of everything down here;

believers haven’t a need to fear;

 

For the plan, which God’s begun,

will be completed by His Son,

Who, purchased us on Calvary,

now is preparing us for Eternity.

 

“It is finished” Christ did cry,

finishing redemption, for you and I,

As all work to cleanse us from sin,

was fully completed by Him;

 

By Christ’s work we’re forgiven,

on a cross as nails were driven,

Into His feet, hands and side,

when on the cross for us He died.

 

Now risen to Glory, is Jesus Christ,

to offer all men Eternal Life,

A new life, anyone can receive, i

f in The Lord, they only believe;

 

And Great and Mighty you’ll proclaim,

lifting praise to His name,

As a member of God’s Family,

with a home provided in Eternity.
