It's about the cross

Our choir sang this last Sunday...and I have been humming it all week, so I decided I am suppose to share it. It is what Christmas really means to me. (If I knew how I would add great pictures behind - but maybe the words should stand alone) Here goes:

It's About the Cross by Jamison J Statema

It's not all about the manger where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels that sang for him that day
It's not just about the shepherds or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wise men who traveled from afar.
Chorus:
It's about the Cross.
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
so that we could be born again
It's about the stone
that was rolled away.
So that you and I could have real life some day
It's about the Cross

It's not all about the presents underneath the tree
It's not all about the feelings that this season brings for me
It's not just about coming home to be with those you love
It's not all about the beauty in the snow I'm dreaming of

Chorus:

The beginning of the story is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate!
It's about the Cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
so that we could be born again
It's about God's love, nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from Him
when it should have been ME!
It's about the stone that was rolled away
so that you and I could have real life some day
so that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the Cross
It's about the Cross
