Anticipating Christmas.

The children are excited with great anticipation
For days and weeks seemed like years they looked forward 
             then with great elation:
Finally Jesus' Birthday is here:  revival!
Trumpets sounding:  It's a celebration of His first arrival!

Think about it:  the gifts we give to the least of these near us
We really are giving to our wonderful Lord, Christ Jesus
So cheerfully give this Christmas with a thankful heart
And smile when you give:  that's a good start!

The Children of God are excited with great anticipation
For days and weeks and years the looked forward
             then with great elation:
Finally Jesus' triumphant return is here:   Revival!
Trumpet sounding:  It's a celebration of Jesus' second arrival!

Anticipating Christmas...
    Anticipating Jesus...
        Anticipating Christmas...
            Anticipating Jesus...
                Anticipating Christmas is anticipating Jesus...

            In the end what are you looking forward to?
            Are you ready to meet the One Who created you?

"And the King shall answer and say unto them, 
  Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one 
   of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."  
                                            Matthew 25:40

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made 
     that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
"Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter 
     and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you 
     in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall 
     receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, 
     even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
"And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, 
      Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
"Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: 
      and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."
                                                                Acts 2:36-41
