This is a time when some do not wish to celebrate Christmas. They fear that in doing so we will offend others. This is not new to our Lord. They hung him on a cross because his words offended some who were made blind. Let us not be made blind. Let us worship our Master and know his love always.

all Gifts to Us!

He left his throne and came to Earth.
A stable was his place of birth.

He gave himself to his master and to us all.
His life on Earth started as a baby small.

He lived, he loved and he healed the sick and lame.
With his wondrous love he cast away our blame.

When Christ was born they sang to him in praise.
They were amazed at his knowledge in the early days.

As he grew there were those who resented our Lord.
They could not accept the living Word.

They plotted a way to put him to death
How their hearts sank when with his dying breath.

Jesus cried out, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.”
Even the pain would not erase his forgiveness for me and for you.

He left the throne and came to Earth.
A stable was his place of birth.

His death was not a symbol of our loss.
It was for us that he hung there upon the cross.

We celebrate Christmas to recognize his birth.
We celebrate Easter to praise his rebirth.

Because he defeated death he has paved the way.
We will follow him on that final day.

Then we will spend eternity in Heaven above.
We have this hope because of his great love.

He left the throne and came to Earth
We praise our lord…, we praise his birth.
