12 Days of Christmas in NM #10

Reading the Christmas story from the Bible before opening presents this morning.

"Born To Die"

On the night Christ was born,

Just before break of morn,

As the stars in the sky were fading,

O'er the place where He lay, 

Fell a shadow cold and gray

Of a cross that would humble a King.

Jesus knew when he came

He would suffer in shame;

He could feel every pain and sorrow.

But He left Paradise,

With His blood He paid the price--

My redemption to Jesus I owe.

From his throne Jesus came,

Laid aside Heaven's fame

In exchange for the cross of Calv'ry;

For my gain suffered loss,

For my sin He bore the cross--

He was wounded and I was set free.

Dearest Lord, evermore

May Thy cross I adore

As I follow the path to Calv'ry;

Of Thy death I partake,

My ambition I forsake--

All my will I surrender to Thee.

{Chorus}

Born to die upon Calvary,

Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;

Born to die upon Calvary,

He was wounded that I might live.
