The reason for the season

Jasper thought this Christmas 
he was getting a promotion 
because of his hard work 
and company devotion 
but that's not what happened
he was surely surprised 
when his boss demoted him 
because the company downsized 
disappointed, hurt, angry and frustrated 
he went to sit on a park bench and by a homeless woman, he became spiritually invigorated
she told him to look at all the positive in his life
tis the season to be jolly 
and celebrate the joy of Christ
you still have a job. 
you're not homeless like me
listen to the Angels and reflect on your destiny

the reason for the season 
unto us a child was born.
Emmanuel was His name
the Lord our God's Holy spawn 
He was the Lamb of God
for the Spirit is with us now. 
Jesus of Nazareth, 
a king who wore no crown

so go tell it on the mountain
shout it from everywhere
Jesus the Christ was born
yes, the power of God is now here
He is our Messiah sent to redeem us from our sins. so come let us adore him again again and again. 

now Jasper took a moment 
to do some serious self-reflection
he realized that when it comes to him, 
God will always provide protection 
for He is our peace. God is our joy 
and yes, life has a way to come in and destroy 
all that we think is important to us 
but nothing is more essential than Christ Jesus

The reason for the season 
we need to understand 
that God sent us a savior 
Jesus, the Son of Man, 
the Alpha, the Omega 
He is the bread of life
the Light of the world, the Son of God 
Jesus the Christ

so give God the glory for all that he has done
the reason for the season 
He gave us His only begotten Son
