Christmas is a Promise

Christmas is a promise that Gpd made long ago

It hasn't much to do with feasts or Santa Claus or snow

So in this Christmas season as we decorate the tree

Let us think about another one- the tree called Calvary.

For Christmas is a promise that God abides within

And Christmas is a promise that we are cleansed from Sin.

God for me and God to me, God in me and God through me

For now and all eternity God's promise sets us free!

As we shop for Christmas presents think of God's gift to man

God wrapped himself in human flesh so we could understand

The lights so brightly shining remind us God is Light

that he now shines within our hearts and lights the darkest night!

For Christmas is a promise that God abides within

And Christmas is a promise that we are cleansed from Sin.

God for me and God to me, God in me and God through me

For now and all eternity God's promise sets us free!
