I’m glad that Jesus Christ was born,
In a stable long ago,
And that He lived a life of love,
Showing us the way of Joy.
In dark Gethsemane, I know
Christ paid the price of sin,
And then He suffered on the cross,
That we might live like Him.
Thus on that bright first Easter morn,
He rose triumphantly,
To carry all who live on Earth,
Into Eternity.
I’m grateful for Christ’s humble birth,
His life of kindness so supreme,
His willing, caring sacrifice,
That brings us home to God again.
May we now living in the World,
Make room within our humble hearts,
To welcome daily from above,
His healing, atoning, Gift of Love.
