Merry Christmas!
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11
This Christmas Eve I’d like to share (again) this song, The Meaning of Christmas.
The big idea is keeping “Christ” in “Christmas”.
Click the play button below to listen. It’s also free download .
The lyric summarizes the idea of Incarnation – God becoming man. Musically it exceeds my usual four chord limit.
May you feel the love and peace of Jesus Christ, our Messiah this Christmas season!

The Meaning of Christmas
Long ago and far away
God as a baby in a manger laid
Seekers and sages sought him in that day
And those who found him were forever changedAnd the meaning of Christmas is Christ was here
History forever changed when God as man appeared
Well it’s a mystery of fact and faith
But it’s very clear that
Jesus changes everythingAs the prince of peace he was innocence
But to the prince of this world he was violence
He said God is love and kind and just
And his son brings forgiveness
Well he said he was the truth, the light and wayAnd the meaning of Christmas is Christ was here
History forever changed when God as man appeared
Well it’s a mystery of fact and faith
But it’s very clear that
Jesus changes everythingWell he’s a liar, or a lunatic
Or he’s everything he claimed
Then truly he was the Son of God
Born of a virgin,
Lived a perfect sinless life
He was crucified for the sins of all mankind
But he rose from the grave
And now he rules at the right hand of the Father in heaven
To judge the living and the deadWell the quest for truth still lingers today
And the question of eternity remains the same
What is the difference that Jesus Christ has made
for you, my friend? Well would you say thatThe meaning of Christmas is Christ was here
History forever changed when God as man appeared
Well it’s a mystery of fact and faith
But it’s very clear that
Jesus changes everythingWell he was more than a nativity,
Or long forgotten history
Jesus, still the King of KingsCopyright 2000/2005Â Rob Still, robstillmusic
