The Christmas Story

I didn't put this together, but I stumbled across it today and was humbled by the lyrics. I recommend reading a long while you listen to it:

Lyrics:
A frightened virgin teenage girl
Receives a message that defies the laws of this world
All she can do is weep and nod
She's to bring into this world the Son of God

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

A star appears fufilling ancient prophecy
There's an ounce of fear as wise men follow faithfully
The Virgin Mary brings forth the human savior
And this future king sleeps soundly in the manger
Soundly in the manger

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns

Tonight He is born so one day He can die
To heal hearts that are torn and live the perfect life
So He hang upon a cross and we can take His life
So we can live as sinners
And He can pay the price
Tonight He is born so one day he can die
But He will rise again

God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
Ready for thorns..

Born To Die - The Real Story of Christmas

I put this together in as in introduction to a guest sermon I preached the day after Christmas last year. Since it was after Christmas I never uploaded it, but I figured I would share it this year in hopes that it could have the same impact on you as it did on me. Soli Deo Gloria!


If you want to hear the sermon, you can listen to it or download it here:
