Merry Christmas
Happy Holiday! Happy means favored by luck or fortune, characterized by a sense of well-being and contentment. I do really wish that for everyone. How about Holiday? That’s a day off work and also a Holy Day, a Muslim holy day that is. Merry means giving pleasure, high spirits, marked by festivity and gaiety. Christmas? A Christian feast that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. As Christians we celebrate with high spirits the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. That’s why I say Merry Christmas; it’s a day to the celebrate the Prince of Peace coming to this earth.
Following are the words to a song by ROBERT JOHN KAUFLIN and sung by GLAD MERRY CHRISTMAS!
In the first light of a new day
No one knew He had arrived
Things continued as they had been
While a newborn softly cried
But the heavens wrapped in wonder
Knew the meaning His birth
In the weakness of a baby
They knew God had come to earth
Hear the angels
As they’re singing
On the morning of His birth
As His mother held Him closely
It was hard to understand
That this baby not yet speaking was the Word of God to man
He would tell them of His kingdom
But their hearts would not believe
They would hate Him and in anger
They would nail Him to a tree
But the sadness would be broken as the song of life arose
And the firstborn of creation would ascend and take His throne
He has left them to redeem us
But before His life began
We knew He’d come back, not as a baby
But as the Lord of every man
Hear the angels as they’re singing on the morning of His birth
How much greater will our song be
When He comes again to earth?
When He comes to rule this earth.
