“Christmas Tree” by Sura Nualpradid

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,  and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

Rejoice, rejoice,

Christmas is here;

Rejoice, rejoice,

Our Savior’s birth is near.

 

Come one, come all,

For Him let us prepare;

With all whom we meet

Good tidings let us share:

 

The Wonderful Counselor,

The Father Everlasting,

The Prince of Peace,

The King of every king –

 

Upon His shoulders

The government He will bear;

He will heal diseases,

Wipe away every tear.

 

Let us go to Bethlehem,

Let us our Savior greet,

Let us bring gifts to Him,

Let us sing hymns sweet.

 

For do you not feel

How His love draws you?

Do you not long deeply

To be near to Him too?

 

We will follow His star

Despite any danger;

We will travel the hills

To find His manger.

 

Behold His brilliance,

Behold His shining love,

Surely He is the Gift

Of God Almighty above.

 

Kneeling before Him now,

We give Him praise;

We adore You, O Jesus,

To You our hearts we raise.

 

Mere sinners we are,

Heal us with Your light;

Guide us on our pathways,

Shine into our night.

 

O Wonderful Counselor,

Father Everlasting,

Prince of Peace,

King of every king –

 

We embrace joyfully

Love and light You share;

Your gifts are immeasurable,

Gifts without compare.

 

O, Christmas is here,

What have we to fear?

We rejoice, we rejoice,

For to us Jesus is near.

Christ Lives in Me

Christ Lives in Me

 

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

 

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

Filled with Your Spirit,

Lord, I long to be;

Filled with Your love

Now and all eternity.

 

Lord, grant that I

May be ever more like You;

Grant that I travel

Your way perfect and true.

 

Rich with Your truth

Let be the words I say;

Radiant with Your joy

May I shine day to day.

 

When others see my life,

May they see only You;

May Your sweet presence

Grace everything I do.

 

My very self I lose

In the depths of Your heart;

Together we are bound,

Never will we part.

 

No longer for myself

Do these days I live;

For You and Your glory

My life I gladly give.

 

For I no longer live,

Rather Christ lives in me;

I praise You for this truth,

For immeasurable mercy.

 

Move me with Your Spirit,

Make my pathway clear,

No matter where I am,

Lord, also be there.

 

Yea, take my hand,

Show me Your will;

Into the depths of my heart

Let Your Spirit fill.

 

This precious paradox,

My Jesus, I find in You:

When I release my life,

I then find life true.

 

So fill me with Your Spirit,

Jesus, live in me;

I rejoice in Your love

Now and all eternity.

Precious You Are

“Sparrow” by Paul Brentnall

“So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:31

 

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard)

Child, so very precious

You are to Me;

Open your heart now,

Let your eyes see.

 

For I will show

How much you are worth;

I will display the value

Of your precious birth.

 

Do you see

The mountains stretching high?

Do you see

The many birds as they fly?

Far more than all these

You are worth to Me,

Far more than every stream,

Every ocean, every sea.

 

Do you see

Countless leaves on the trees?

Do you hear the music

In the sound of the breeze?

 

Do you see the flowers

Bloom in colors bright?

Do you feel the sun

Warming you with its light?

 

More precious are you,

Your soul is a treasure;

For this reason, My child,

I love you with no measure.

 

Do you see the sparkle

Of pure silver and of gold?

Do you see the glow

Of stars from days of old?

 

More than precious metals,

Than all the stars in the sky,

Is your worth to Me,

Your God, the Most High.

 

Do you see the Cross

There on the hill of Calvary?

Do you see Me bleed for you

There upon the tree?

 

I sweat drops of blood,

A heavy Cross I bore,

Nails pierced Me through,

A thorny crown I wore:

 

So precious you are to Me,

All this I chose to do;

Do you now sense

How much I treasure you?

 

Let Me hold you close,

Let Me keep you in my heart;

I will treasure you always,

As I have from the start.

 

For, child, so very precious

You are to Me;

Embrace My love for you

Now and for all eternity.
