Listen at Christmas!


Listen to Jesus, give Him an ear;
Listen At Christmas and all through the year;
Open your heart to His wonderful Word,
Listen and transforming truth will be heard.

Learn from Him lessons, spoken of old—
Writ in the Bible, as first they were told—
Lessons that deal with Heaven and Hell,
Lessons that only the Savior could tell.

Hear Him speak from His heart the bold truth;
Speak to the old, and speak to the youth;
Listen and you will hear o’er the din,
Truths that will change you and make you like Him.

He speaks of riches and tells of a man,
Who for them missed Heaven and God’s gracious plan;
The man was a ruler, and good from his youth,
But having heard Jesus, He chose not the truth.

He warned that Hell was a place of torment;
Where men who refuse to believe will be sent;
He told of its fire and its place where the worm
Will not ever perish but forever will burn.

He told, too, of Heaven, the place of His own;
He told how to go there and make it your home.
He spoke of a new birth that comes from above,
A free gift of grace, provided in love.

Oh hear Him and listen to each precious word.
He speaks and His Spirit today is still heard;
He teaches and preaches and calls us to Him,
O’er death and o’er Hell the victory to win.

His words are the truth, His message the way;
Believe Him and trust Him for this is the day;
Don’t put Him off, don’t say “I’ll just wait--”
It would be awful if Hell is your fate.

This year at Christmas, on this blessed morn,
Remember the cause that Jesus was born.
To witness to truth, He said was the reason
He came to this world, and gave birth to this season.
