I think I was introduced to this song last year and was reminded of it again by one of my wife's sisters. I believe the group Go Fish initially wrote it while I first saw the Ball Brothers version here on KZbin (the lyrics I chose are kind of a combination of the two groups). Such a good reminder that it's more than just remembering the birth of our Lord. May you be blessed to know the greatest gift in the world - the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of God!
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels
Who sang for him that day
It's not just about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wise-men
Who traveled from afar
[Chorus]
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross
[Verse 2]
It's not just about the good things
In this life I’ve done
It's not all about the treasures
Or the trophies that I’ve won
It’s not about the righteousness
That I find within
It’s all about His precious blood
That saved me from my sin [chorus]
[Bridge]
The beginning of the story
Is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can save you
And that's why we celebrate
[Ending Chorus]
It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about God's Son
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed
from Him when it should have been me
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross
It's about the cross
It's about the cross
