For God so loved the world

 

                       The reason to celebrate CHRISTmas ?

                  

                         For God so loved the world,

        that He gave His only begotten Son,

          that whosoever believes in Him

             should not perish, but have

                      everlasting life.

                        John ch.3 v.16

Look and see

                                        

                      Look and see        

                All that look, that look on me 

               see only here a dying tree
               in brittle branch and withered wood 

               they find no beauty - see no good
               perceiving just what would have been 

               if You had not come on my scene
               But shoots of green they do not see 

               new budding leaves that struggle free
               from lifeless form that once was me
               For carnal mind and human eyes 

               both dwell and gaze on all that dies
               and in this chrysalis of tree 

               will fail to see eternity
               Oh all that look - look again at me

               look now through eyes of faith and see
               the hand of Jesus Christ, God's Son 

               gaze on the work that's being done
               See miracle of power to save 

               a soul once destined for the grave
               This Saviour, Whom my heart does love 

               has come from God on wings of a dove
               to change my destiny of strife 

               and bring to me eternal life
               So look again upon this tree 

               see everywhere new greenery
               Don't look upon the dying wood 

               see my Saviour's beauty, see my Saviour's good
