The Manger’s Call

Only at Christmas

Might we hear

Prepare Him room

And Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer

–

Only in December – this time of year

In the midst of all the holiday cheer

Do we find some who worship

And others who would not dare

–

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Does anyone remember why?

–

We hear it on the radio

We joyfully sing along

But, few rightly remember

This, the angel’s song

–

Tip of the hat

Nod in mild agree

Sure, I am ok with this

the King of all kings

–

But, give Him my life

Serve Him with my all

You have crossed a line

How dare you have such gall?

–

A Savior and a Clause

All mingled together

Hardly indistinguishable

Lumped into one big ball

–

Glory to the newborn King

And Down from the chimney

Fresh new arrangements

Sung in amazing harmony

–

Happy Holidays – Merry Christmas

And spread some kind of cheer

Does it even matter

Should I even care?

–

I say yes!

For the King has come

Not as one would expect

No crowds, No room

Just a stable

A manger

and a baby, no less

–

That Baby

God in the flesh

Will go from that place

And welcome His death

–

Receive the King

Who receives the sinner

Atoning for sin

Making right the transgressor

–

From garden

To manger

And on to the cross

The stone was rolled away

He rose for us!

–

Merry Christmas to the sinner

Merry Christmas indeed!

Not only at Christmas

Do we celebrate the creed

–

Come worship along

Come one and come all

Sing to the Lord, Sing

For He has resolved

–

Good news my friend

Yes, He has resolved

All that has happened

All that has gone wrong

–

Laying aside His glory

He took on human flesh

Offering forgiveness

And dying that death

–

Jesus the Savior

Human flesh and all

God dwelt among us

Reversing the fall

–

Oh Holy Night

Yes it’s true

It’s a call to worship

A call to me and you

–

Celebrate and sing with them all

Our Savior has come

Worship Him together

Hear the manger’s call
