Christmas Was Born of Love
Christmas Was Born of Love
It was a long road to Bethlehem
Following a pilgrim’s path
Searching the sky in the day’s fading light
Making their way through the night.
They looked for David’s city, Bethlehem
Crowded with travelers just like themselves
Though tired and alone they saw the wonder
God’s love to earth newborn.
For…
Christmas was born of love
With a shout and a song and a star;
Born for a babe who would show this old world
How to live Christmas ev’ry day
How to live love ev’ry way.
They looked in wonder at Emmanuel
Lying in a manger bed;
So many came to marvel that night
Bringing their gifts and their gold.
The sound of heavenly music filled the sky
Scents of frankincense filled the air;
Then they saw him smile in the shadows of starlight
God’s love to earth new born.
And…
Christmas was born of love
With a shout and a song and a star;
Born for a babe who would show this old world
How to live Christmas ev’ry day
How to live love ev’ry way.
These are the lyrics to Christmas Was Born of Love.
It can be heard on iHeart radio.
Merry Christmas Eve
