Christmas' True Meaning Is Jesus

The True Meaning of Christmas

During this Christmas, 
let’s celebrate Christ’ birth.
It was for all of us that he
 came down to earth.

As we think about Bethlehem
 and the baby boy…
We shout glad tidings to all! 
 And peace and joy!

This young child was to one day
 touch all of mankind.
His message of salvation…  
Today…  You can find!

As we celebrate and fill up
 with holiday cheer…
This same Jesus is alive today… 
 And is always here!

Though 2000 years ago,
 he was born in a manger...
You can know him NOW!  He doesn’t
 have to be a “stranger.”

Won’t you spend some time and reflect 
on Christmas’ true meaning?
It’s in the merciful arms of Jesus
 that you need to be leaning!

The good news of Christmas can
certainly be found…
Across this nation.  
Every city…  And town!

This same Christ can bring peace 
to your life today!
He loves you much more than words can say!

May HIS love bring peace and healing
 to your weary soul…
It’s only in him, that you can be
 complete and whole!!!
