Christmas - Poem

Merry Christmas! This poem features excerpts from many popular Christmas songs and relates the Christmas story to the gospel. From the cradle to the cross, Jesus’ life was the cost to buy back what we had lost—intimacy with the Father. Be blessed this Christmas.

Away in a manger

No crib for a bed

His love for us all would one day run red

Joy to the world

The Lord has come

Through His blood our debts are none

Let every heart prepare Him room

Make no mistake

He walked out of that tomb

Fall on your knees

Jesus stole death’s keys 

Oh night divine

He was sent to redeem mankind

On that silent night

We saw the Light

The dawn of redeeming grace

Came to take up our case

Born is the King

Let the angels sing

What child is this?

That He would do all this!

From the cradle to the cross

His life was the cost

To buy back what we had lost

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Let God’s love be the gift we share

Come let us adore Him

Soon the nations will bow before Him

God and sinners reconciled 

It all began with a little child

This Christmas don’t forget to see

The world’s greatest mystery

God appeared in the flesh

I pray in your heart His peace would rest

Be blessed.
