241224 Christmas Eve

 Christmas Eve

So, today's Christmas Eve 
Preparations are made
Lots of shopping and cleaning 
Great attention's been paid

Now, just for a moment 
As we end hustling 
Let's turn our attention 
To a far greater thing

Let's remember the promises 
Prophets foretold
It's the Eve of Christ's birth
New created from old

With the birth of sweet babe
The world turned upside-down 
The poor were made rich
And the lost ones were found

The lowly were lifted
Powerful were brought low
Hope and joy would replace
The world's mourning and woe

The great chasm between 
God and man would be bridged
With a birth, then a cross
We live 'cause first He lived 

God's bright light came to earth
Through this nativity
In the dark of this world
Light for all who will see

Unbelievers see darkness
Some believers do, too
When we turn eyes away from what's holy and true

But even if darkness
Is what you're going through 
Christmas dawn brings a promise
To make all things brand new

So, rejoice and sing praises
On this Christmas Eve
Greatest gift has been given
To all those who believe
