I Celerate the Day

And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let You know how much You've touched my life
Because here is where You're finding me, in the exact same place as New Year's eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I want to be

And the first time
That You opened Your eyes did You realize that You would be my Savior
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever

And so this Christmas I'll compare the things I felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That You have come to meet me here

To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me
And the hope that
That You give
That you were born so I might really live
To look back and think that
This baby would one day save me

And I, I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day pray for You to save my life

We love the picture of the cute baby Jesus, yet we tend to overlook the actual purpose of His birth. His death. That is what i shall call the "irony" of Christmas.

God descended into human form so that He could be killed on a cross and take the punishment for the things i've done wrong. The eternal punishment that i rightly deserve. (Then, proving He was God, He came back to life 3 days later and talked to over 500 people.)

Therefore, He will save the "eternal" life of anyone who asks because He has already paid the price for their penalty.

If that didn't really happen then i would have no reason to celebrate today. Why would i celebrate the birth of some psycho who claimed to be God just because his mom was a lying slut and His father couldn't provide any better than to have his son born in a disease infested barn?

That's not a holiday. That's an episode of Jerry Springer.
