Twas the evening of Christmas, such
a beautiful night,
A
manger is lit with a glorious light.
The
animals are quiet, no one utters a word,
Only
the praises of angels can softly be heard.
Many
people have come, they’ve all gathered near,
Such
joy in their hearts, and their eyes full of tears.
What
is the reason for the joy felt within?
The
Savior is born, the Redeemer from sin!
He
is here to save us, so there’s no need to fright,
The
evening of Christmas what a beautiful night!
33 years after Christmas, on a hill
far away,
Our
Savior is crucified, what a mourningful day.
He
is scourged He is spat on and unmercifully beat,
Nails
are driven in His hands and in His feet.
The
animals are silent, no one utters a word;
As
He is pierced in the side by the edge of a sword.
The
sky is black, dark clouds hang down low,
The
ground is shaken the wind ceases to blow.
But
three days after this, what a glorious morn!
Just
as the day Jesus our Savior was born.
He
is risen, alive and He’s glorified!
Interceding
for us on the Father’s right side.
He
is the Truth, the Life and the Way,
Three days after Calvary ,
what a glorious day!
One
day from the sky will arise such a clatter!
A
trumpet will sound and the clouds will all scatter.
And
who to our expectant eyes will appear?
Jesus
our Savior with a Joyous cheer!
And
placing His foot gently upon the land,
He
will call for His church, with outstretched hands.
We
who know Him and are waiting, will go meet the Lord,
And
the praises of saints will surely be heard!
If
you’re cleansed by His blood and redeemed from sin,
You
can rest in His promise, He’s coming again!
Christmas
didn’t end in Bethlehem
Cause
even now we are looking for that marvelous light.
Be
ready and look for Him, He’ll be here with a shout,
And
you’ll find just what Christmas is all about.
In
parting with you I would just like to say,
Merry
Christmas to you all, and hope to see you that day!
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given.
Isaiah 9:6
