Christmas Is A Covenant

Christmas is a covenant, a promise from the past. 

A hope for all tomorrows, Love that will last.

Christmas is a covenant, equal parts of pain and mirth.

From this manger to the empty cross, we claim God's peace on earth.

 

Keep your babies near to heart, hold tight the elder's hand.

Generations of the Promised One bringing Christ into the land.

Sing carols to the lonely hearts, send mercy in His place.

Prepare and decorate your hearth with God's AMAZING grace.

 

O come. . . . come all ye faithful ones.  Around the manger kneel.

With our children, friends and family this covenant we seal.

We'll walk as people of the light, revealing God's redemptive heart.

In this pageantry of Christmastide, let us dress salvation's part.

 

Chorus

Go tell it on the mountaintop there's joy in the world.

Hark the herald angels sing, God's promise unfurled.

 

Christmas is a Covenant, A promise from the past

A hope for all tomorrows, Love that will last.

Oh come. . .come all ye faithful ones, around the manger kneel,

With our children, friends, and family this covenant we seal.

 

With our children, friends and family, this covenant we seal.
