Christmas Naught Nine

The mighty God unseen, Came down to earth in flesh As man, to become seen By men of world, selfish! The Son of God was Christ, Who was God Himself first; He came to earth to show God’s love profound, bestow. The God of heavens lived A humble life on earth; He experienced and strived To know man’s woes since birth. Oh, what a lovely God! He keeps His every word; He cares for everyone He made, under the Sun! Oh, Son of God, Jesus! You brought with You great joy, And special hope and peace, For mankind to enjoy! Oh, welcome ‘King of kings’, There’s joy amongst earthlings; For heaven came to earth, Through ‘Emmanuel’ Christ’s birth! And Christmas is just this; The world received God’s bliss; Through His one Son Jesus, Who took away sin’s curse! Now, heaven is so nigh To men on earth who die; By living righteously, They gain Eternity. ‘Merry Christmas, ’09! ’ Copyright by Dr John Celes 12-25-2009
