John 3:16 (LP_Psalms revised version)
No matter who you are, no matter what you have done, God loves you, and wants to have a close, intimate relationship with you. That is why He sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross. His blood washes away all the sin that keeps us away from God. When we repent of our sins and accept Him as our Savior we become through Him,God's beloved sons and daughters.
Through His death we are made alive!
More Good news!
He rose from the dead and broke the chains that keep us tied to the grave . Through His resurrection we have Eternal Life!! Life forever! With God!
One quiet night the stars shone down,
Upon a tiny sleeping town
And a stable just behind a crowded inn.
There inside the ox's stall, was born the Savior of us all,
The One Who'd free our sould of Death and Sin.
Not wrapped in robes of splendour
But in swaddling bands He lay,
Asleep in Mary's arms,
On the first Christmas day.
The angels sang His glory,
As shepherds gathered 'round
Wise men came to worship HIm
And laid their treasures down.
Gold and myrrh and frankincense
Were the gifts the wise kings gave,
As they knelt before Creation's Lord
On the first Christmas Day.
Many years have come and gone,
Since first we heard the angels' song,
And the shepherds left their flocks to seek God's King.
Still the wise heart seeks the face
Of the One who brings us Heaven's grace,
And with joyful hearts God's praises we sing.
Let us sing His Glory
As the angels long ago.
Leave behing our wordly care
And to the manger go.
Remembering God's precious gift
Let us bow and humbly pray,
Come let us adore Creation's Lord
LIke the first Christmas Day.
