God Kept His Word

When God created Eden,
Everything was full of life.
He told Adam and Eve
Don’t eat from the tree
If you do, you will surely die.

Satan showed up as a serpent
Challenging what they had heard.
They denied God’s voice
When they made a choice
To eat; and God kept His word.

This was not the end of our story
For God loves what He creates.
Another promise from Him
To rescue us from our sin,
He would Himself come to save.

One night in Bethlehem,
The angels announced the birth.
The baby in the manger
Would become that Savior
Proving God had kept His word.

That baby would become a man
Doing what’s good and right.
Out of love for the lost
He went to the cross
To offer forgiveness and new life.

That offer is made to all -
To every human being on the earth.
There are no exceptions.
There are no rejections.
Because God keeps His word.

During this Christmas season
Will you listen to His holy voice?
By believing the promise
From a God who is honest
You’ll cause all of heaven to rejoice!

So, you can join the chorus
The shepherds long ago heard.
Give praise to the Savior.
That baby in the manger
Is proof that God kept His word.

You are of great value and worth.
