The Message of Good News - Christmas 2018

An angel appeared in the temple,
Good news was his to bring!
Good news of one to prepare the way
For the Redeemer, Saviour, King!

An angel appeared to Mary,
Good news from the Holy One!
Good news for unholy sinners -
The birth of God's only Son!

An angel appeared to Joseph,
Good news to him and his wife!
Good news to those dead in their sins,
One comes, who gives people life!

An angel appeared to shepherds,
Good news filled their hearts with joy,
Good news from the town of Bethlehem,
A righteous baby boy!

A sign appeared in the brightest sky,
Good news for men from afar,
Good news of light to fill men's souls,
The Bright and Morning Star!

A cruel rugged cross upon a hill,
Good news for all mankind,
Good news for those lost in their sin,
Redemption they will find!

An empty tomb: no person there,
Good news, God's Son has risen,
Good news for those trapped by sin's snare -
Release from Satan's prison!

The message of salvation comes:
Good news to those who hear!
Good news of new life, hearts reformed,
The Lord of all draws near.
