Reflecting on the True Meaning of Christmas

On this Christmas Eve, I want to wish EVERYONE a very Merry Christmas. I have been thinking more THIS year about what Christmas is really about. Today while singing in church things just touched me more, I felt more loved by God, and grateful for the knowledge I have of my Savior. The songs that have really been touching my heart have been the ones that invite the listeners to continue to seek Jesus in their everyday lives. I'll share a few words from those songs, since my poor language can't do those feelings I've been having justice.

The Innkeeper (Let Him In) by Michael McLean (Forgotten Carols):

"Let Him in, let Him in

Let the joy and the hope begin,

Let Him in, let Him in

Let the peace on Earth begin.

And whether it be in your world today

or a crowded Bethlehem inn...

Find a way, make Him room,

Let Him in."

The Shepherd (You Were Not There in Bethlehem) by Michael McLean (Forgotten Carols):

"And do you think you'll join us, though you've not seen a thing.

You were not there in Bethlehem or heard the angels sing

but if you feel the Spirit in the air

then just like me you'll know:

That He was here, He was here.

The King of kings and Lord of lords was here

He was here, He was here

And He will come again, 'cause He was here....

The King of kings and Lord of lords was here."

I Cannot Find My Way/Three Kings by Michael McLean (Forgotten Carols):
"There were three kings who followed the Star of Bethlehem
They came from afar, to praise and honor him.
The light which beckoned them to seek
The Lord of men; it calls to you, it calls to me...
...We’re not alone, we have a star that shines today.
The love that He gave teaches how and shows the way.
The light is clear to see, if we have faith and believe:
Three Kings found the Lord, and so can we...
...And if you’ve lost your way, that light burns bright today
and it will shine eternally...
...Lord help us find a way, we need to find a way
We need to find a way back home.
Three kings found the Lord and so can we!"

Shine for me again, Star of Bethlehem by Dan Carter:

"Do not despair, your star is still there."
