God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16; NLT).
Thank you, Lord, for loving us,
And giving us your only Son,
So we can believe in him
And follow him on earth.
Then we will not perish, Lord, For he will lead us back to you:
Reunited, evermore –
Lord, thank you for Christ’s birth.
