The 1st thing I love about Christmas

The 1st thing I love about Christmas.......

The realization of what it is all about. God becoming a little baby. A baby that was born to die.
Much is said about Calvary, how important it was that Jesus died for us, and it is. But what we need to remember is that without Bethlehem, there would not have been a Calvary.

So this Christmas, focus on the Baby in the manger, and remember that same baby was sent here to die for you and me. He truly was born in the shadow of a cross.

One King

In the beginning there was the Word
Pure love was spoken to reach every man
They stopped and listened but all that they heard
Was a language that they could not understand.
No joy, no peace, no hope insight

So He came with starlight and love in His eyes
No regal welcome for His infant cry
There have been many babies to become a king
But only one King became a baby

He left behind His throne of pure light
Gave up His crown that we might be free
He chose a manger that Bethlehem night
And reaching through time and space He saw me
No joy, no peace, no hope insight

So He came with starlight and love in His eyes,
No regal welcome for His infant cry
There have been many babies to become a king
But only one King became a baby

He could have chosen to break through the sky
With anthem and angel wing
But He knew we'd understand a baby's cry
And learn love from a servant king

So He came with starlight and love in His eyes,
No regal welcome for His infant cry
There have been so many babies to become a king
But only one King
One King became a baby.
