Lisa Notes: “Christmas Offering”

Bring your worship. It’s your offering.

I love Paul Baloche’s Offering. So when I heard this Christmas version on Casting Crowns’ Peace on Earth CD, it was automatically a favorite.

Christmas Offering
Casting Crowns
LYRICS

Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wiseman seeking Truth they traveled from afar
Hoping to find the Child from heaven
Falling on their knees they bow before the humble Prince of Peace

CHORUS:
We bring an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus may you receive the honor that You're due
O Lord I bring an offering to You

The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your blood
It's only through Your mercy
Lord, I come

CHORUS

We bring an offering to you
We are an offering to you
We are an offering to you, Jesus

We are an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus, may you receive the honor that You're due
O Lord, we bring an offering to You

Yes, Pia, it is very difficult when you have to watch somebody you love suffer. :-( My heart and prayers go out to you and your dad.

Huhhhhh... Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer I guess... ! Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Over the last ten years or so my favorite Christmas song is probably Bob Seger's, The Little Drummer Boy. I like it because although a fiction story, in the end the lad only has the gift of playing the drums given to him by God himself... And God smiles... I just can't think of many things cooler than that; God himself smiling at us.

So I had to go listen to Bob Seger's version of The Little Drummer Boy. That's always been one of my favorite Christmas songs too. I can relate more to him than to the Wise Men. ;-)

Yes, God smiling at us is definitely a cool thing indeed.

I love this song. It's a beautiful worship song. One of my favorite Christmas songs is How Many Kings by Downhere. Two years ago, I posted the song on my blog at http://bornagainandblessed.blogspot.com/2009/12/h... .

Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a blessed weekend in the Lord!

I love that song by Downhere too! I haven't heard it yet this year though. And I've misplaced my box of Christmas CDs since i got everything out of the attic a couple weeks ago. Time to go searching... Praying you have a blessed weekend too.
