The Miracle of Christmas

This is one of my favorite Steven Curtis Chapman Christmas songs. It's called "The Miracle of Christmas" and I was especially struck by the chorus tonight. Isn't it cool that we worship the same God that came to earth as a tiny baby boy over 2,000 year ago?


A child is born tonight in Bethlehem
His mother holds him close and sings a sweet lullaby
All the world is sleeping unaware that God himself has come in the night

The shepherds tremble as the angels sing
And in their song the voice of God speaks peace to the world
A miracle has happened, God has come and God has spoken
But the miracle has only just begun

And the God who spoke is speaking still
And the God who came still comes
And the miracle that happened still happens in the heart that will believe
And we see (receive) the miracle of Christmas

So come to Bethlehem again and see
The One who's come to rescue us, our Saviour and King
Bring your past, the joy, the sorrow, all your hope to find tomorrow

And hear the words again, fear not and know that God is near

For the God who spoke is speaking still
And the God who came still comes
And the miracle that happened still happens in the heart that will believe
And receive the miracle of Christmas

Believe the miracle of Christmas
Will you believe?

One thing I think is really cool is that all over the world we are worshiping that same God -- in every language and through all our differences culturally. That same baby boy is at the center of it all. He speaks all those languages and has chosen all those people to be his. I think it's awesome.
