Lift Up Your Eyes and See
To the tune: O Little Town of Bethlehem
All those beneath life’s crushing load
Lift up your eyes and see
The Son of God has come to earth
His words will set you free
From doubt and fear and worry
Of what the future holds
Look up and put your trust in Him
His peace will fill your soul.
The baby born to Mary
The Word made flesh He came
That all who will believe in Him
Will never be the same
O’er evil He did triumph
When on the cross He hung
Our sin He took upon Himself
Salvation for us won.
So we can live in victory
And know His joy and peace
No matter what the headlines say
We only need to reach
To Him who holds the future
Our lives are in His hands
Rejoice, give thanks and praise His name
In near and distant lands.

Marlene: your words to a favorite tune of Christmastide are refreshing. You have taken out of the beloved carol the nostalgia and replaced it with the message for the day; you took us from the worshipping of an infant to worshipping the Christ who lives today. Thank you.
