Wow. Well, my whole "post my favorite Christmas carols" thing kind of failed due to exams and the business of the Christmas season. Today I'm going to share a song with you, not a "Christmas carol" but a song about the reason we celebrate Christmas. It's "I Celebrate the Day," by Christian band Relient K. It focuses on the mystery of Jesus born fully God and fully man. A mystery we may never know the answer to. When Jesus was born, did He know that He had come to save Lauren Murphree? It boggles my mind and shows me how much God loves me. "And I, I celebrate the day that You were born to die so I could one day pray for You to save my life" is the last stanza. How thought provoking is that? How often do we forget? "Yay! Jesus is born! Time to open presents!" seems to be our normal line of thought on Christmas morning. We celebrate that Christ was born, but forget the reason He was born. Jesus Christ was born to die. Born to bear the full wrath of God and pay the price for our sins. THAT is reason for celebration.
Merry Christmas!!
And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let you know
How much you've touched my life because
Here is where you're finding me
In the exact same place as New Years Eve
And from the lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I wanna be
And 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 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 so this Christmas I'll compare
The things I've felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That you have come to meet me here
To look back
And think that
This baby would one day save me
And the hope that
That you give
That you were born so I might really live
To look back
And think that
This baby would one day save me
And 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 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
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
Pray for you to save my life
