Christmas - Who We Celebrate

This will be a 3-part series all about why I love Christmas. This is by far my favorite time of the year, even with the cold temperatures and icy roads.

When I was younger I loved Christmas primarily because of the gifts, but now that I am older I feel saddened that people who focus only on the gifts and family miss out on the most exciting part of this holiday. The birth of our Savior.

This is the time when we stop and spend time specially thanking God for our salvation that came about through the birth of a tiny child. A child that was not just a child, but God Himself who came down to us, who met us in our sad state, and lived amongst us for 33 years before finally sacrificing Himself in order to bring us back to Him.

The first song is "Here is Our King" by The David Crowder Band. This song is Christmas to me, the reason for our celebration, as the angels rejoiced on that day 2000 years ago, we do the same now.





Here is Our King


(verse 1)
From wherever spring arrives to heal the ground
From where ever searching comes to look itself
A trace of what we're looking for
so be quiet now, and wait

(Pre-Chorus)
The ocean is growing
The tide is coming in
Here it is:

(Chorus 2x)
Here is our King
Here is our Love
Here is our God who's come to bring us back to him
He is the one,
He is Jesus

(verse 2)
And what was said to the rose to make it unfold
Was said to me, here in my chest
So be quiet now, and rest.

(Pre-Chorus)(Chorus 2x)

(Bridge 2x)
Majesty!
Finally!

(chorus 2x)(bridge 1x)
