The Everlasting Christmas What is it that we want, That is for Christmas? What is it that God wants, That is for us? To open the gift He has given us, An expression of His love As he looks down from above. Through His grace this Christmas day And every one before, And those yet to come, He has given us a present, To live forever in His presence. To live with eternal joy Unwrap the gift of His son Jesus. It's not just this Christmas day Or those of yesterday, It is that every day can be A Christmas day. Today or tomorrow the gift is there To become one of God's heirs. And so every day of the week It is you and me He does seek. If you have opened His gift, shout. It isn't just you this is about.
Sharing His gift is the most loving thing We can do, so let your love sing. We care for others because God so loves us. He shows us His love through the life, The life born as man, loving as God, His gift of grace, His son Jesus. Share the grace of His saving embrace That love may be reborn this Christmas day. After Reading Habakkuk God will punish those who oppose Him, Those who worship false idols as gods, Gods of wood, silver and gold, Those who oppress His holy people. But at the same time the people of God Will also suffer at the hands of their oppressors, Those who do not believe that He is The God of Heaven above, the earth And the universe around us, The God who breathed life into the first man Adam. It is by His breath we find our strength Through His Holy Spirit. Because we live among unbelievers We will suffer their hate for us And their hate for God Almighty.
Through this suffering we pray And through our prayer we come closer to God. He hears our petitions, our fears. He knows our weaknesses. Becoming closer to God, by seeking him out, We know His will for us and can stand firm In strength, His love for us. Knowing that in the end When the battle no longer rages We will be with Him for eternity, Not in the burning flames of Hell. Though living in an adulterous world, A world that forsakes the One Whose image we were made in, We do not reflect the failings of man. We will grow in strength, We will grow in faith, We will grow in love. We will not be the destruction of this world We will live to see the face of God And forever be with Him Because he is our God, The one and only God of the universe.
You may fight God, you may run from God, But that path will lead you astray, Lead you to where you may forever stay. While there is time seek God, His ways are true.
