It is closer. Christmas is just two days away and still there are beautiful Christmas songs and hymns to share. The song I’ve chosen for today tells the Christmas story through amazing lyrics and melody.

As I listen to this song, I am reminded that God sent His Son out of love for mankind. On the night Jesus was born, love flowed from God’s throne to the stable in Bethlehem. What great love the Father has for His children.

I pray that as you reflect upon the birth of Jesus over the next couple of days that you will find the love that God has poured out for mankind. Close your eyes…see the night when love was born.

“When Love Was Born”[i]

Starlight shines, the night is still
Shepherds watch from a hill
I close my eyes, see the night
When love was born

Perfect child gently waits
A mother bends to kiss God’s face
I close my eyes, see the night
When love was born

Angels fill the midnight sky, they sing
Hallelujah, He is Christ, our King

Emmanuel, Prince of peace
Loves come down for you and me
Heaven’s gift, the holy spark
To let the way inside our hearts

Bethlehem, through your small door
Came the hope we’ve waited for
The world was changed forevermore
When love was born

I close my eyes, see the night
When love was born
