Hello Friends,

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” — Jesus, John 10:10

Salvation Came 

Baby’s cry, mother’s joy,
Father’s humble awe;
Bright star shone above,
Stable filled with divine love.

Manger held the bread of life,
Heaven’s gift to all mankind;
Savior, King, a tiny babe,
Wrapped and laid in hay.

Cleansing blood, spotless lamb
World’s saving grace;
Love so pure, exemplified
In Savior who was born to die. 

Left His glorious throne on high,
Stepped down from Father’s side;
Offered Himself as sacrifice;
No other would suffice.

King of heaven, light of earth
Hung on cruel cross;
But lived again, left the grave,
The Risen One alone can save.

Look upon the stable stall,
Remember His humble birth;
See the salvation that came that night
To rescue our souls with love and light.
