Christmas Day is here

Christmas Day is here
       Peace on earth is near
Now Jesus Christ is calling you
How will you respond?
       What will you do?

Masses of people pray today for peace on earth
Today we remember the miracle of our Savior's birth
Yet True peace in our souls will never be realized
Until we repent and receive the Spirit of the Prince of Peace inside

Christmas Day is here
       Peace on earth is near
Now Jesus Christ is calling you
How will you respond?
       What will you do?

Yes war is unimaginable and horrible
The evil in men's hearts almost seems unstoppable
Yet True peace in their souls will never be realized
Until they repent and receive the Spirit of the Prince of Peace inside

Christmas Day is here
       Peace on earth is near
Now Jesus Christ is calling you
How will you respond?
       What will you do?

Terror stalks us, waiting, anticipating in the shadows of fear
Panic attacks paranoid people, pushing that fear nearer
Yet True peace in our soul will never be realized
Until we repent and receive the Spirit of the Prince of Peace inside

Christmas Day is here
       Peace on earth is near
Now Jesus Christ is calling you
How will you respond?
       What will you do?

What will you do?

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be 
  upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, 
   The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."  Isaiah 9:6

"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
