Great Love Brought Him To Us

Great Love Brought Him To Us

Christmas is here, the presents are wrapped;

The house is decked with red and green.

The wreaths are hung, Christmas lights are strung.

It's  all ready for Christmas Eve.

Though long ago, no decorations hung;

Only a star guiding the way.

In a sky full of stars made by our God's hands.

And a stable, filled with love and hay.

Better a stable filled with the love of God;

Than houses of gold without love.

The only gift that truly satisfies:

Is Christ, who was born unto us.

Christmas is here, the tree is all trimmed;

Packages placed neatly with care.

Silently the lights shine in the darkness;

And  silently a falling tear.

As we think upon the light of the world;

In the darkness, His glory gleamed.

He came as a gift, one silent night;

Beauty it was,  though humble it seemed.

Beautiful was the face of Jesus;

One day to be bruised for the lost.

 Beautiful were His hands and his feet;

One day to be nailed to a cross.

Virgin with child from God upon high;

Beautiful was the birth of Jesus;

The most beautiful Christmas of all;

Because great love brought Him to us.

So we pause today, we bow to pray;

"Oh Thank-you God for Jesus.

The light of Christmas, ever to shine;

Because your love, brought Him to us."

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour

Jesus Wants Us To Be Ready

Jesus Wants Us To Be Ready

 What if Jesus came back today?

Or on this coming Christmas eve?

Would we be thinking of Jesus?

Would He be happy, would He be pleased?

What if Jesus came back in the clouds?

Upon  this coming Christmas day?

Would He find us blessing His birth?

If He returned on His birthday?

If the trump would sound, all around?

Calling the dead in Christ, "Arise?

Would we be ready at our turn?

To take flight to heavenly skies?

What if Jesus came back this Christmas?

Would you be ready to leave this world?

Would you even hear the trumpet?

Be ready to meet with the Lord?

Jesus wants us to be ready:

Whether tomorrow or today.

While decking halls and tins'ling trees;

Don't forget it's HIS birthday.

While hanging lights, that are so bright;

While hanging the bright star in place.

Remember sweet  Jesus was born:

T'was love, t'was truth, t'was life, t'was grace.

While driving along, singing a song;

While wrapping packages with bows:

Remember the child , so meek and mild;

The first gift of Christmas to know.

Jesus wants us to be ready:

Whether tomorrow or today.

With hearts afire, our thoughts higher;

Don't forget it's HIS birthday.
