       ?? ~The Babe in the Manger~ ??

   1.Do you worship the babe in the manger
     But reject the Christ of the cross?
     Your redemption comes not by the manger
     But the death of Christ on the cross.

   2.If you worship the babe in the manger
     But ignore the blood of God's Son
     To you Christ is only a stranger
     Till you trust the work He has done.

   3.Will you look past the babe in the manger
     Will you look to Calvary
     Oh my friend can you not see the danger
     Of a lost eternity?

Chorus:

     The Babe in the manger was God's only Son
     Who came to the world to die
     The Babe in the manger could never have done
     The work of His God on High. 
     The Babe left the manger and went to the cross 
     To Pay the wages of sin 
     Your way of forgiveness is not by the Babe, 
     But the Christ Who died for your sin.

"..knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture
might be fulfilled...He said, IT IS FINISHED! jn19:28-30

"It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. To
him who thirsts I will give of the fountain of the water of life
freely. rev21:6  "..whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him 
shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him 
a well of water springing up into everlasting life. jn4:14

"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and
the Last.  Blessed are they who do His commandments, that their
authority will be over the Tree of Life, and they may enter in by the
gates into the city.  But outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and
the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who
loves and makes a lie.  I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these
things to you over the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of
David, the bright and Morning Star.  And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come! And let the one hearing say, Come! And let him who is thirsty 
come. And he willing, let him take of the water of life freely. 
rev22:13-17

"I am coming quickly! rev22:20  

"Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and
those who pierced Him will see Him, and all the kindreds of the earth
will wail because of Him. Even so....   rev1:7

Amen!
