Christmas, the day God walked among us
by Stan Arney © 2008

Who would have thought a birth two thousand years ago
Would matter to the world more than anyone could know
Christmas, the day of incarnation, when God walked among us
Do you think at that time anyone realized His purpose

Passed down from generation to generation
It is a celebration in each and every nation
A day that wise men worshiped a babe in a manger
Giving Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh

Do you think they knew who He truly was the Son of
The Son of our Father, God, of heaven above
Jesus was His name, our Savior, we all should know
In the Bible it was written, so all of us may know

A day to be thankful for all blessings we have received
To pray for those who have passed, that they truly believed
This is a day to rejoice, the tidings of great joy
This may include presents for each girl and boy

Give a gift to a stranger, anonymously
Do a good deed for someone, a blessing opportunity
Doing something for another, just warms your heart
Sharing your joy, is simply doing your part

His birth, our chance for eternal life in heaven
Despite our indignity and all of our sin
Share the good news of Jesus and why He was born
And how accepting His free gift, you too can be reborn

Christmas, the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus
For all He was sent, for each and every one of us
So may your days be merry and oh so bright
Remember this day, as one Holy night.
