Being a musical person, music has always had a unique way of speaking to me, or allowing me to speak the overflow of my heart. As Christmas Day approaches and we celebrate the birth of our Savior, I would like to share with you a few lines of a song that was introduced to me last Christmas, and quickly became my all-time favorite Christmas song. The words speak for themselves.
"The first time that You opened Your eyes
Did You realize that You would be my Savior?
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever?
...And I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life."
(Celebrate the Day, RelientK)
We so often, and very rightly, focus on the birth of Jesus this time of year. But I love the way these words bring the complete mission of Christmas to mind. That holy infant, so tender and mild, was born on that very day two thousand years ago to be my Savior. He was born to die so you and I could one day pray for Him to save our lives. For lack of a big "thatsuncanny" word- Wow.
Have a blessed Christmas and bask in the love of God that He would have given us the greatest, most undeserved gift ever imagined.
