Seeing Christmas

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
And this child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God
Oh, Mary, did you know?
Mary, did you know?

The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb?
And this sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I am

I have no words to express my gratitude for Christ the Savior of the world. How could I possibly put in to words the pain and sorrow he has saved me from? This Christmas all I ask is that you remember to give your praise to the Almighty and His Son who love us so much to become subject to such a cruel death and humiliation. 

This awe inspiring song adjusts my perspective to focus on the beauty and grace that I am given the chance to partake in. My world spins up storms of trouble, heartache, and hardship and yet none of it can compare to the ultimate joy that is in store for me. When things go off course I get frustrated but always there is a soft feeling of importance in that trial, a reminder that I have no reason to fear

When I think of Christmas I picture in my mind a quiet night full of stars dancing in the sky. I see a tiny child with a serene face being worshiped by grown men who have bowed down before the Son to give him adoration. The gratitude and joy that is in their hearts as they gaze at Him cannot be verbalized. It's magnitude is too great for spoken words, so they send prayers to heaven knowing He will hear. Each person who sets their eyes upon him feels wonders with their soul. They are given the understanding that before them lays the Messiah.
