"It's About the Cross" by Jamison Statema

It's not just about the manger where the baby laid
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 wise men who traveled from afar

It's not just about the presents underneath the tree
It's not all about the feeling that this season brings to me
It's not just about the coming home to be with those you love
It's not all about the beauty of the snow I'm dreaming of

It's about the cross, it's about our sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once so that we can 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've been me
It's about the stone that was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life some day
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!
