Christmas Grace

Christmas Grace
House of mud, lowest caste
Dirty jobs and difficult past.

Heart of pride and sinner still,
Struggling God to know your will.

Sex addiction, drugs stronghold
Has the future been foretold?

Fallen world, gap of sin
Need a Savior to enter in.

Every religion: a ruler, a king
Perfection required the gift we’re to bring.

But what’s required we cannot do
We have nothing of value to offer you

This Christmas babe, was he meant for me?
We’re not worth this gift but could it be?

The son of God should rest in a place of gold
Not in a stable out in the cold.

Who is this baby, this tiny King…
What message is he trying to bring?

Lowly shepherd, lowly place,
Life of poverty and disgrace.

In the fields, that silent night
Lowly place, met heavenly light.

The greatest and best weren’t the first to hear
Twas the humble and weak to whom the angel did appear.

Good tidings to you, go follow the star
You are chosen by God just as you are



This gift to the shepherds that came from above
Was not about honor but all about love.

God knew the shepherds, he knows us too,
He knows there is nothing of merit we can do.

This old story from years long past
Carries a message meant to last.

Lowly people, lowly place,
Changed with love by heavenly grace.

This Christmas may you really sense the difference and uniqueness of our Savior. He doesn’t come for the “perfect” but for the imperfect. That is the beauty of Christmas!
