Christmas is God’s gift to us: ‘Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!‘ (2 Cor 9:15) But our response should be to offer all that we are and have to Him (see Rom 12:1-2). Today’s song is called ‘Christmas Offering’ and talks about the offering of worship we bring to Jesus.
‘Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wise men seeking truth, they travelled from afar
Hoping to find the Child from Heaven falling on their knees
They bow before the humble Prince of peace
We bring an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus, may You receive the honour that You’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to You
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of Heaven, it’s only by Your blood
It’s only through Your mercy, Lord, I come.’ (‘Christmas Offering’, Casting Crowns)
