CHRISTMAS AND MORE

By: Johnye E. Pryor

Christmas was a special day, it brought the birth of a king;
Not just a king over one mere land, but a king over everything.
The creator of the universe came down to live with man;
He put in motion on that day God’s great redemption plan.

He came to earth as a wee small babe, so lowly, meek and mild;
We celebrate this time of year the birth of this holy child.
God sent His Son into the world to redeem us from the fall;
Not just for one or two of us, but He was born for all.

It started in a manger bed, in a lowly cattle stall;
He lived a sinless, spotless life, on a cross He died for all.
On the third day He rose again, conquering death, hell, and the grave;
To give us victory over them too, no longer must we be enslaved.

What began in a manger bed, in a lowly cattle stall;
Was revealed as God’s great plan, to redeem us from the fall.
But my friend, there’s more to come, the story doesn’t end here;
There’s one more step in God’s great plan, His word has made it clear.

God’s only Son came down to earth, as a babe so meek and mild;
But He has promised He’ll come again, and this time not as a child.
This time He’ll be coming back with power from on high;
To rescue those who trust in Him, and away with Him we’ll fly.

O yes, He’s coming back again with power and great might;
As King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, He’ll conquer wrong with right.
The whole world knows about His birth, His death and resurrection too;
But unless He lives with in your heart, He won’t be coming for you.

So ask Him in your heart today.
My friend, please don’t delay;
And you’ll not celebrate just His birth,
But also His coronation day.
