So I have now written a few blogs and then proceeded to delete them cause I didnt like them. So I figured I would do something else. So here is pretty much one of my most favorite Christmas Songs ever, and I think it relays the message I wanted better than I could say it!
What Child Is This? written by William C. Dix in 1865
What child is this who, laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping.
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary.
Why lies he in such mean estate where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian, fear for sinners here, the silent Word is pleasing.
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary.
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh, come, peasant, king, to crown him; the King of kings salvation brings, let loving hearts enthrone him.
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary.
Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, the cross he bore for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, the babe, the Son of Mary.
This, this is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, the babe, the son of Mary.
The last verse is one that I actually haven't heard before, but I think it reminds us that the baby born to Mary was soon to be the Savior that hung on the cross for all of our sins! I pray that this Christmas we remember that Christ is the reason, but also that it is for the reason of Saving all of us that he came to this earth, through His death on the cross and Resurrection!
