[Gm] What good is the Christmas story if it's void of God and His glory?
[Bb] What's the worth of the words peace [Dm] on earth if it's not rooted in Christ's birth?
[Eb] What benefit is it for us in discussing the joy of the season unless we [Gm] fix our hearts
and [D] our minds on the reason that Christ is atoned for us?
[Gm] See, Christmas is more than just a story of a baby born in a manger.
It's [Dm] more than a poor fiancé engaged to a humble virgin teenager.
[C] More than a magi, more than gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
[D] It's more than just a nativity scene.
There was so much more that occurred.
[Gm] It's the coming of the Messiah, the fulfillment of all Old Testament promises, [Bb] the prophecy
of the suffering servant and all of his accomplishments.
[Eb] The second person of the Trinity commissioned to abandon his [Gm] position and set aside the
[D] independent exercise of his attributes in full [Gm] submission.
The Word manifested in the flesh, the fullness of God expressed, the self [Dm]-emptying [Bb] Jesus
poured out at the Father's request.
The [C] image of the invisible God, the radiance of the Father's fame, [D] holy but retained his
humanness to empathize with our pain.
[Gm] The one unjustly crushed, chastised, cursed, and shamed, mocked [Bb] and adorned with the crown
of thorns, [Dm] disgraced but still faced the grave [Eb] to fulfill the Father's will, to come and
die in the place of men [D] and receive the full weight of God's judgment upon himself instead.
[Gm] The most monumental mark for mankind, made in human history, wretched sinners [Dm] being made
righteous by the wounds of the risen King, [C] the condescending of a holy God, made in the
likeness of men, [D] this child born to be the Savior who would save the world [Gm] from its sins,
the offspring of the virgin's womb, the Christ, God's only Son, fully God [Dm] yet fully man, the
only theanthropic one.
[C] This is everything that we celebrate, Christ the newborn King, [G] veiled in flesh, the [Gb] Godhead
see, hail incarnate deity.
