A CHILD IS BORN

The season has arrived

And on its meaning we reflect;

The special time in history

We ought to not forget.

It’s the birth of our Lord

When God’s Son came to earth,

And where the wise men they worshipped Him

With gold, frankincense and myrrh.

The Lord had a special mission

To reconcile us to the Father,

Through His death and resurrection;

Through only Him and through no other.

He was crucified and beaten

And He was nailed to the cross,

Like a lamb led to the slaughter;

He paid the ultimate of costs.

But His obedience saw victory

And it was His sacrificial love,

That paid the price for our liberty

As we’re reconciled above.

Those who receive Him

Will be washed and cleansed within,

Through repentance and humility

And delivered from all sin.

The birth of our Lord

Was the greatest of all gifts,

Because the rewards are eternal

Where the soul forever lives.

It’s a profound time in history;

A moment that cannot be compared,

When the heartbeat of the Father

Showed His tender love and care.

We thank God for Jesus Christ

And His sacrifice here on earth;

The most poignant but most victorious

Heralding our precious spiritual birth.
