the story of Christmas
is a story of love
[Music]
it was light and angels that gave
guidance to those blessed to be a part
of those transcendent events fear not
for behold I bring you good tidings of
great joy which shall be to all people
for unto you Is Born This Day in the
City of David a savior which is Christ
the Lord and this shall be a sign unto
you
you shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes lying in a manger
one of the most beautiful symbols of the
birth of Jesus Christ into this world is
light the appearance of the long
promised Messiah brought light to a
darkened world therefore the Lord
himself shall give you a sign behold a
virgin shall conceive and bear a son and
shall call his name Emmanuel
[Music]
when Mary and Joseph bought the baby
Jesus to the temple Seema knew through
the power of the Holy Ghost that this
was indeed the Christ the Son of the
Most High
let this be a time of remembrance of
gratitude and a time of forgiveness let
it be a time to ponder the atonement of
Jesus price and its meaning for each of
us personally
we like the wise men of old should seek
the Christ and lay before him the most
precious of gifts a broken heart and a
contrite spirit
[Music]
how silently how silently the wondrous
gift is given so God imparts to human
hearts the blessings of his heaven no
ear may hear his coming but in the world
of sin where meek souls will receive him
still the dear Christ enters them the
Savior gave freely to all and as us were
of value beyond measure throughout his
ministry he blessed the sing
restore sight to the blind made the Deaf
to hear and the halt and the lame to
walk he gave cleanliness to the unclean
he restored breath to the lifeless he
gave hope to the despairing to be so
light in the darkness because he came we
know how to reach out to those in
trouble or distress wherever they may be
because it came and paid for our sins we
have the opportunity to gain eternal
life the spirit of Christmas is the
spirit of love and of generosity and of
goodness may his precious air happy with
us and may he ever be the center of our
celebrations
[Music]
but the pure love of Christ does walk in
his footsteps
as we approach the season celebrating
his birth as we do so let's remember
that he still lives and continues to be
the light
[Music]
