"Good tidings of great joy", pierced the silence of the night;
And the sudden burst of Glory lit the heavens oh so bright.
The mighty host of heaven giving praise to God on high,
Announcing that the Lamb of God to earth had now arrived.
The long-awaited Savior, the promised woman's seed,
The Son of God incarnate came to destroy the devil's deeds.
Good tidings of great joy to all of human kind...
Liberation of all captive souls by sin had been entwined.
Good tidings now for sinners, great joy replacing gloom:
Bad news for the serpent, Christ's birth now signaled doom.
Victory for fallen man...relationship restored,
Access to the Father through Christ the open door.
Good news for this present day for millions still are lost.
The joy and hope of Christmas must be shared at any cost.
The true message of Christmas must be heralded all about
To family, friends and strangers so that they will not miss out.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men
Luke 2:10-14
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men
