It's About the Cross!

This song has really blessed me over the Christmas season!  It really brings out the true meaning of Christmas.  It is truly ALL about the cross.  My favorite line is "the beginning of the story it is wonderful and great but it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate!"
This is a wonderful time of the year to once again witness to the lost and share with them the true meaning of Christmas!

"It's About the Cross"  by Go Fish

It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay,
It's not all about the angels
Who sang for him that day.

It's not just about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star,
It's not all about the wisemen
Who travelled from afar.

It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again.

It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday.

It's about the cross
It's about the cross

It's not just about the presents
Underneath the tree
It's not all about the feeling
That the season brings to me

It's not just about coming home
To be with those you love
It's not all about the beauty
In the snow I'm dreaming of

The beginning of the story is wonderful and great,
But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate

It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again

It's about God's love
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from Him when it should have been me!

It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross
It's about the cross!

Merry Christmas!!!

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6



"And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, 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 Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you;

Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
Luke 2:9-14
