I pray that as we enjoy this Christmas holiday that you will take the time to celebrate the reason for the season.
The love of God came down to earth
In form—a tiny babe.
To be the perfect sacrifice
On whom my sin was laid.
Never once did Jesus sin
Or yield to life’s temptations
He was the perfect Lamb of God
The price for my salvation.
Because it pleased the Father
He submitted to the cross.
Suffering in grief and pain
He paid redemption’s cost.
Giving hope to every soul
So bound in sin and shame
Forgiveness now within the reach
Of all who trust in Jesus’ name.
So Christmas is a time of joy
A time of celebration
That God in love would send His Son
To purchase our salvation!
