What's so hard to understand,
my
friend?
Christmas is over everything's so quiet
The push to go shopping is gone with the lights
Yet after Christmas and New Year's sales abound
This time of year is time to reflect. time to slow down
What's so hard to understand my friend?
Jesus is God Who became a man
He became the Perfect sacrifice for sin
You see Jesus is the revelation
Seems like normal life just wants to lived, not adored
Does everything have to be an event to live for?
Because once it's here it flies by too fast
These planned family meetings never seem to last
What's so hard to understand my friend?
Jesus is God Who became a man
He became the Perfect sacrifice for sin
You see Jesus is the revelation
If for some reason you cannot make it and miss the meeting
Then you're looked upon with only a Seasons Greeting
Folks just don't understand the simplicity of it all
God became a baby and grew up and died for us all
What's so hard to understand my friend?
Jesus is God Who became a man
He became the Perfect sacrifice for sin
You see Jesus is the revelation

Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3
1: To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2: A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3: A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4: A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5: A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6: A time to get, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7: A time to rend, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8: A time to love, and a time to hate;
a time of war, and a time of peace.
9: What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10: I have seen the travail, which God hath given to
the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11: He hath made every thing beautiful in his time:
also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can
find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12: I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice,
and to do good in his life.
13: And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good
of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
14: I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever:
nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it:
and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15: That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath
already been; and God requireth that which is past.
16: And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment,
that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness,
that iniquity was there.
17: I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked:
for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
18: I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men,
that God might manifest them, and that they might see that
they themselves are beasts.
19: For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one
thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea,
they have
all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast:
for all is vanity.
20: All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
21: Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the
beast that goeth downward to the earth?
22: Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should
rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him
to see what shall be after him?
