REASON FOR THE SEASON

Glimmering distances beyond cold wet snow
Fills the valleys of Elevations below
Cascades of snow upon the winds
Dim reminder of bitter days ahead

In the city of David a child was born
Two centuries ago without sin
For the salvation of all who come after
This child in beggars rags in a stable

Three wise men followed the brightest star
To a manger only fit for animals
But yet the son of man was born
Who's devotion would stand till the end of time

Three wise men presented gifts and knelt to pray
Not fully knowing the future this child would play
Into the hearts of multitudes even unto this day
But only a child in this manger does he lay

So I say to each and everyone of you
May the love of that child shine through
Lift up your hearts and your prayers
Bless all of you this holiday season

Love is the reason we worship Jesus
During this holiday season
For the life he did give
So eternally we all shall live

SO the brotherhood of man may endure
Trials and tribulations we must go through
We celebrate the birth of our lord
All the year through Amen
