What child was this born some two thousand years ago?
Why a stable where beasts of burden move to and fro.
What did heavenly hosts proclaim that night so rare.
How come shepherds visited mankind’s answered prayer.

Praise to God and Peace to men on whom His favor rests
A little town predicted long ago that of King David blessed.
Who could have imagined who this was and why He came,
So many have looked for Him as someone who had fame.

As the battle for the hearts and souls of Adams race persists
The deceiver continues to make the truth totally remiss
By blinding eyes and worrying minds, it increases everyday
No one stops to even ask “What did this child have to say?”

What happened and what did He go through in His years
How do I know it’s not some story with superficial tears?
What does this mean it’s not about Santa or presents new
No it’s about God and a relationship that He wants with you.

I’ve got to run, shop, buy, and then pay for all I acquire
Wait, think! That’s what He did, pay your price required.
To bring you back into the family, to give you new life.
The child came to pay for you. His name is Jesus Christ!

“May you have this relationship and enjoy a Merry Christmas!”
