Do you not know, have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of all the earth.
– Isaiah 40:28
At Christmas time I like to think
Of Christ, our Lord above,
Who came to earth in Bethlehem
To show us His great love.
He left a glorious home in heaven
To have a lowly birth
And don’t forget that He had once
Created all this eart!
Yes, He created wood, you know
For His own manger bed,
He made the cattle and the grass
On which they daily fed.
He really made that cross of His
Where he was hung to die,
An earthquake shook the land and then
Dark blackness filled the sky!
He also made the iron
Which would become those nails –
They pierced His hands and feet because
His love just never fails.
So Christmas is the time to think
Of why He really came,
To take our place, so we can have
Forgiveness in His name!
Have a great Christmas and a glad New Year!
