The Reason

Bethlehem was not an accident,
Jesus' birth was not unplanned;
Our Father in heaven is in charge,
The flames of hope were fanned.

Yes, Jesus is definitely the reason,
We sing and celebrate this day;
He came to die for us all,
And to show us a better way.

Christmas is my favorite season,
It began a new life for me,
Christ is my holy redeemer,
His grace has set me free.

The reason for this season,
Is the One who died for me:
He was born with a cross in His heart,
A desire for salvation for me.

We put up our evergreen tree,
And cover it with twinkling lights;
The crown on the top is a star,
So we remember this holy night.

Lowly shepherds came to visit,
And to bow humbly before Him;
The magi brought Him gifts,
Led by a star that would not dim.

Christmas is filled with joy,
It's filled with peace and song;
Those who accept the Messiah,
Can never, ever go wrong.

Christmas is my favorite time of year but I try to live with Christmas in my heart all year long. No greater gift have I ever received than the salvation of my soul that the Lord Jesus Christ has given me. He may have been born in a lowly stable but He provided us with the path to heaven's gates.

I hope that all of us can remember that there are many in this world who are living without basic necessities in this season of giving and help to provide for them. Please keep all those in want and all those who are suffering in any way in your prayers.
