It's about the Cross

Verse 1:
It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels
Who sang for him that day
It's not just about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wisemen
Who travelled from afar
Chorus:
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born againIt's about the stone
That was rolled awaySo that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross
Verse 2:
It's not just about the presents
Underneath the tree
It's not all about the feelingThat the season brings to me
It's not just about coming home
To be with those you love
It's not all about the beautyIn the snow
I'm dreaming of
Chorus:
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross
The beginning of the story is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about God's love
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from
Him when it should have been me
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross

It's a group called Go Fish. Most of their songs are pretty contemporary but they have a few good ones with really good lyrics....

Hey Emily Kae,
My Christmas was really good. I have to admit I was pretty weepy through most of it though cuz it was the last Christmas my family is all together as a family and that kind of gets to me. I have a problem of looking at is like I'm dramaticly(hehe)losing family members instead of gaining a bro and sis-in-law(and they really are some of the best new siblings you could ever get(o=). But I'm very excited for my siblings that will be gettin hitched soon and I know they will both be very happy with their future mates and who God wants them to be with and that's what really matters right? So yeah it was kind of a bittersweet Christmas but it's been a lot of fun to have a week off just to laze around with my family(and boy have we been lazy or at least I have (o;). We've been watching Lord of the Rings together and we're about to go finish the last one. I've seen them many times but they're just as awesome every time! anyways thanks for askin about my Christmas...hope your's was good too =o)
