As previously mentioned, I really enjoy listening to Christmas music throughout the month of December.
(......and into January, too!)
The lyrics below are those of another "modern classic" that I absolutely love. Such meaningful words, especially these:
"We never realized a baby born one blessed night gave us the greatest gift of our lives"
Yes, THE greatest gift. Ever.
In all the hustle and bustle of the holiday days, we must not let "all that stuff" crowd out the true reason for the season.
HE is the reason. WE are the reason.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
We Are the Reason
(David Meece)
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we'd find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day, a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
Oh and we were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do, every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
And we are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost, He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
He is our reason to live
