The Christ-Child
I can hear the choirs singing—
it’s a time for celebration,
to honor the Christ-child,
from ancient times of origin.
A time to thank the Father
for giving us His Son;
the greatest gift of love,
through which eternity is won.
Christ was born to save us
from our selfishness and sin;
a precious gift from the Father,
where His salvation seed did begin.
A beautiful innocent baby
born to a mother of innocence.
A miracle of God above;
a miracle of great importance.
The choirs sing His praises
in this very special season.
All heaven observes our celebration;
our precious Savior is the reason.
We offer joy, hope and peace;
with heaven’s touch to broaden.
Let’s celebrate the Christ-child’s birth,
born of God, a babe so sovereign.
This beautiful little baby
had a purpose so grand,
even His mother, Mary,
failed God’s plan to understand.
She did not know that her child
would die to save the lost.
Our celebrations should be extensive
for God’s love gift came at great cost.
Let’s join the many choirs
and sing God’s praises out loud;
Christmas is such a joyous time;
God’s great love to be avowed.
It’s a season to give thanks
for this Christ-child born on time;
God’s greatest love gift of all,
so majestic and divine!
