The prophets announced Christ's birth
that He would one day come to earth.
He was sent by the Father to pay a price,
and He became the living sacrifice.
God took a good look across the land,
but sadly enough He found no man.
Not one was righteous that could die
for sinful souls such as you and I.
So God Himself had a perfect plan,
and because of His great love for man,
God became flesh and came to earth
to die for mankind, to give us worth.
The sin debt was paid on the cross
so all could be saved and none lost.
Satan is defeated in the story we tell
and Jesus became our Emmanuel.
Now Christmas comes to one and all
to celebrate by those who answer the call.
It's all about Him, the Lord Jesus Christ,
who came to offer us the gift of life.
