about

I've been wanting to write a Christmas song every year but haven't done it, so this year I went for it, and this is the result...Happily it's a song I think I can use all year round, not just at Christmas (one of the downsides of the lovely Christmas music is that it's heard only at this season). It was fun, inspiring, came fairly easily (while still 'miraculously'), and I'm planning to do a new one every Christmas!--Let's see if I can keep up with that plan!

lyrics

You made a world, and filled it full
of wonders that did stir the soul,
Of beauty long forgotten now,
for we turned out backs on you
Your plan was good right from the start
Although You knew the human heart
would have to learn to love, be true,
To give itself to you

You’ve watched us through the centuries
Sent us help and heard our pleas;
You saved us from ourselves
more often than we care to see ...
And though it seemed our world was doomed,
That all you loved would be consumed
by evil thoughts of evil men
You stepped in once again

For God so loved the world He gave
His only son, to serve, to save
To show us how to live, and to find
Our way back home
To our Father’s side

He came in love, and came to serve
He brought what we did not deserve;
He stayed the course, stuck to the plan
And saw it to the end
And now He’s back with You on High
Yet lives in us at the same time
And one day near a bitter end
He’ll come to us again

For God so loved the world He gave
His only son, to serve, to save
To show us how to live, and to find
Our way back home
To our Father’s side

You knew we would resist you
You knew that we would fall
You knew it all beforehand
But You had a plan to save us all

For God so loved the world He gave
His only son, to serve, to save
To show us how to live, and to find
Our way back home
To our Father’s side
