Don't Take the Cross Out of Christmas

I am sure that the angel were stunned To see the throne empty that day When the Son of God came down from heaven And became a mere mortal babe He created all things by His power He provided all things man would need But now in His greatest assignment He came down to die on a tree Don’t take the cross out of Christmas He died on a tree meant for me Don’t take the cross out of Christmas It was there that He set me free I cannot understand His mercy Nor the thought of His amazing grace They were offered when He came from heaven To be nailed to a cross in my place Don’t take the cross out of Christmas He died on a tree meant for me Don’t take the cross out of Christmas It was there that He set me free His story was from the beginning The blood of the Lamb must be shed He suffered and died As my sacrifice Now I’ll praise Him with all of my breath Don’t take the cross out of Christmas He died on a tree meant for me Don’t take the cross out of Christmas It was there that He set me free
