Promises Present

Christmas is a Promise
Christmas is a promise that God made long ago
It hasn't much to do with feasts or Santa Claus or snow
So in this Christmas season as we decorate the tree
Let us think about another one- the tree called Calvary.
For Christmas is a promise that God abides within
And Christmas is a promise that we are cleansed from Sin.
God for me and God to me, God in me and God through me
For now and all eternity God's promise sets us free!
As we shop for Christmas presents think of God's gift to man
God wrapped himself in human flesh so we could understand
The lights so brightly shining remind us God is Light
that he now shines within our hearts and lights the darkest night!
For Christmas is a promise that God abides within
And Christmas is a promise that we are cleansed from Sin.
God for me and God to me, God in me and God through me
For now and all eternity God's promise sets us free!
