We stand around this tree of evergreen,
A family tradition, a wonderful scene.
Pulling out the garland and orbs so bright,
The tree is trimmed and topped with a star of light.
We recall the time long ago,
We rejoice in what we know.
Jesus came down in manger of low estate,
He came on a cold and bitter night, so late.
The tree is a symbol of His undying love,
And He came down from Heaven above.
Faithful He will be forever more,
By His cradle we will come and adore.
We stand and look upon the cross,
Knowing what He did came at great cost.
The tree, where precious was the flow,
Take me there, so that I may know.

No Room For Him
Joseph and Mary seek shelter from the cold and dark,
After on this long journey they did embark.
From inn to inn, they sought shelter that night,
But no innkeeper could this king invite.
Are you like the innkeeper that had no room?
Are you unaware of your impending doom?
Our Lord and King came to us in a stable,
Will you choose to let Him in, if you are able?
The time has passed and He seeks shelter in our hearts,
That is where His salvation power starts.
He came from the stable and traveled to the cross,
He came so that we would not suffer eternal loss.
He knocks upon your heart’s door,
He wants to know you forever more.
Come to the door and let Him enter in,
And cleanse your heart from sin.

Listen Closely
Listen closely and you will hear,
Angelic voices of joy and cheer.
On a night long ago, in Bethelhem,
We heard the great news of Him.
Listen closely and you will hear,
A message of joy and not of fear.
For He was born to save us then,
When we were deep in sin.
Listen closely and you will hear,
And you will enjoy what you hold dear.
For in the quiet of that night,
We were given a Great Light.
Listen closely and you will hear,
A message of love and cheer.
For love came in this child,
And lo, in this manger mild.
Angelic voices of joy and cheer.

Where He Walked
He came to walk among men of earth,
He came through the virgin birth.
He walked with His earthly mom and dad,
He stayed behind and they were sad.
He was about His Father's business,
And nothing could change this.
He walked among men and called them out,
And grew within them a faith without a doubt.
He walked and fed the thousands,
And they were filled with no need for seconds.
His filling was far greater than the food,
And He knew that this was for their good.
He walked upon the ocean and the waves,
And Peter thought he could make it, but Jesus saves.
He walked and dined among sinners and thieves,
And He, in His heart for their souls grieves.
He walked and did turn the water into wine,
This was only one of His miracles divine.
He walked and talked with the woman at the well,
And did her sin and wickedness dispel.
He walked to the garden to pray,
And He hoped that His disciples would awake stay.
He walked and fell to His knees in grief so great,
He asked if God could change His fate.
He walked to the upper room and did with the disciples eat,
After they had drank the cup and break the bread, He did wash their feet.
He knew that among them there was one that would Him betray,
And that it would take place in the garden later that day.
He knew that He must walk this road alone,
Even when Peter said of Him, he had not known.
He would walk before the Romans, and they would take no blame,
For Pilate would wash his hands of this Man, of which there was no sin and shame.
He was chosen both among the Jews and Gentiles to be crucified,
And He would soon walk that hill and there with Him two men died.
He was welcomed Great King of the Jews,
But soon out of their mouths, Crucify Him, they would spew.
He walked up that hill, battered and bruised,
But He knew that He could by God in this way be used.
He would hang there and take our sin,
So that they would not be remembered against us again.
He would walk amongst them again,
After three days, He would again be risen.
He walked with men on the road to Emmaus,
Once they saw the bread that He broke, in their hearts were amazed by this.
He came to see the one that doubted that He had risen,
And he was able touch the nail scars and the wounds in His side that He had been given.
He walked amongst the disciples one last time,
And reassured them of their salvation sublime.
His presence walks among His people,
And it cannot be confined to a church with a steeple.
He will not let you walk alone,
But He will guide you by His light shown.

From the Manger to the Cross
From the manger to the garden,
Knowing the choice we would make,
He knew that our life was at stake,
He knew that some of our hearts would harden.
From the manger to the cross,
Without Him we would die in the grave.
For He came to seek and to save,
So that we might not suffer loss.
From the manger to the coming again,
The world would turn their back on Him,
Being turned away, because I never knew them,
Because instead of Him they chose sin.
From the manger to the world,
To spread the message of life,
Not forgetting that He would suffer strife,
That for me His banner would be unfurled.

Seeking the King
Are you in a comfortable inn tonight?
No vacancy for a heavenly light.
There is a manger stall in the rear,
Our Savior had a purpose here.
The shepherds watched their sheep,
While startled from their sleep,
The heavenly host proclaimed the good news,
Our Savior was born, the King of the Jews.
The wise men heard from afar,
And were guided by a bright, bright star.
They came bearing precious gifts,
With this news my spirit lifts.
Seek the king while you are able,
By this star, they found Him in a stable.
Seek the child, and understand the story,
That this was done all for His glory.

What Are You Seeking This Christmas?
Have we forgotten the reason for Christmas? I think we have, because we have been brainwashed by the commercialization of the holidays. There are other holidays that this happened too. The two holidays that it has hurt the most are Easter and Christmas. Easter is not about bunnies and eggs; it is about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christmas is not about Santa, Christmas trees, and gifts; it's about the birth of Jesus Christ. It is also about bringing our families together to remember why we celebrate these holidays.
What are you seeking this Christmas? The reason I ask this question is because we all get caught up the newest electronics, clothes, and even for the kids, toys. I want to emphasize the importance of seeking the real reason of Christmas and celebrating our Savior's birth. Seek the Savior and you will find salvation. This is a gift that you can share with anyone, and it will make their Christmas special. Your soul is important to God. Remember that Jesus is the Reason for the Season.
