Stop Your Rushing!

1. Stop your rushing. Settle down.

Let it dissipate your frown.
Why your frenzy? Why such gloom?
SMILE and brighten up the room!
Keep life peaceful.  Keep it bright.
Let Jesus light both day and night!
You're protected.  You are loved.
All your sins you've been cleansed of.

2. It's the Christmas Season now.
Look to Christ who will endow.
He's Almighty Lord of all.
HEAR His tender loving call.
As a child he came to earth
through a humble virgin's birth.
Learn humility and love
to bathe in grace sent from above.

3. He chose a manger to abide
with animals close by His side,
who breathed their warmth upon His face,
this child who'd save the human race.
COME much closer, friends and foes.

See how pure His presence glows.
Healing waits for you at last.
Peace that cannot be surpassed.

4. Do not fear and turn away.
EMBRACE your Lord in love today.
Time moves quickly while He waits,
as He holds our hopes and fates.
Ever gentle, ever true,
He governs us in all you do.
Trust the only one who can
lead you to His glorious land,

5. Bow before this Holy Child
resting there so meek and mild?
He transforms earth, seas, and skies,
as quietly in peace He lies.
A little heart inflamed with love
possessing healing from above.
Together let us PRAISE and sing
To Christ Our Lord, The Infant King!

"And she brought forth her firstborn son,

and wrapped him in swaddling clothes,

and laid him in a manger; because

there was no room for them in the inn."

Luke 2:7
