The Reason for the Season


JESUS is the reason for the season,
But so, my friend, are you,
For by His birth
God came to earth.
Oh, yes, the story's true

That God was born in human form
In a lowly manger there,
Where shone so bright
God's heavenly light
Upon his face so fair.

He came, you see, to set men free
From the awful curse of sin;
Now you and I
Don't have to die!
Our debt was paid by Him!

He bore our sin who knew no sin,
Upon Calvary's cruel cross.
On Him believe!
God's gift receive!
Be saved, my friend, not lost!
