What Christmas Means to Me
What does Christmas mean to me?
It’s more than gifts beneath the tree
It’s God’s love so rich and free
Sent to this earth for all to hear and see.
What does Christmas mean to me?
Come kneel with me and you will see
Baby Jesus as sweet as any babe can be
The Son of God sinless and holy.
What does Christmas mean to me?
It is God’s grace to us abundantly
Wrapped in a baby, oh so wee
The Son of God who rules eternally.
What does Christmas mean to me?
It’s Mary’s baby born to bring us liberty
From sinful nature He came to set us free
That by His grace we live in victory.
What does Christmas mean to me?
From earth’s foundation God’s plan was Calvary
Where Christ would bear our sins on that tree
And rise from the grave victoriously.
This is what Christmas means to me
It’s Christ in us—O, blessed reality
Relationship for all eternity
Where from all sin we’re fully free.
THIS IS WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME!
“For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten
Son, that whosoever believes
In Him shall not perish, but
have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
