Christmas, why celebrate it?

Counting down to Christmas, I stand amaze!
Birds are singing,
The streets of men quake with noise and jubilation,
Can someone please tell what's going on?
It's Christmas, Christmas they say!

Christmas! Christmas!! Christmas!!!

A child is born, a birth incarnated,
So, significant an arrival it is!

Birth of Christianity it marked,

Birth of a saviour come to save his people from sins

A son sent from the father himself, a deliverer! a Redeemer!

He's God's sent, and has come that we be reconciled to the father,

He’s called the messiah, the Christ!

He’s called wonderful, Councillor, and everlasting father,

Oh, see the government upon his shoulders!

He’s the prince of peace,

Of his Government there will be no end!

No longer will my soul perish in sin,

For my saviour is come

Here is he in human form,

Humble, he came laid in a manger,

Rejoice, therefore my soul!

It’s Christmas! And Christianity begins!
