Say, I Believe In Christ

Say, I Believe In Christ

This version was written in response to the song being circulated on Face Book and You Tube called Say I Believe In Christmas.

I believe in Christ…I believe He’s true

I believe in the Savior…sent for the chosen few

If you…believe in Jesus…join me in this song

Keep living for him…be obedient all year long

If…you don’t see Merry Christmas in a window

No! You don’t go past that store (don’t go by)

If you don’t see Merry Christmas in the window

Yes! You walk right in their front door

Oh…it’s all about the gospel…the meaning of His birth

It’s the one and only reason we worship in every season

Sharing the good news of Jesus to everyone on earth

If you don’t hear Merry Christmas…don’t let it get to you

When you walking through their store

Find the nearest employee and forget about you

Share with them what they haven’t heard before

Words are chosen every year to hide the truth

Of the reason for this time of year

They may not like our song and profit is not wrong

Let them make some dough that is all they know

Unless you stand out from the crowd and share the gospel loud

Christmas is just man-made but what a great holiday you know

What would they be missing? Now let’s see

If you don’t share the truth of the Nativity…

No forgiveness of sins or joy of salvation

No freedom from sin or condemnation

No joy deep down in their soul

No knowledge of being made whole

No promise of grace for livin

No celebrating all God has givin

No help to fight the battle of sin
No one to who calls them his friend

No promise of reward and blessing

No confidence just a life of guessing

And one more thing there wouldn’t be

No-ooo recognition of Calvary------

If…you…don’t see Merry Christmas in the window

Yes! Run right straight into that store

If you don’t see Merry Christmas in the window

Yes! You walk in by their front door

If you don’t believe the reasons to share the gospel…you’re not ok with me

Please don’t blame a blind mind for walking into a wall clumsily

After all we celebrate Christ and His resurrected life all year ‘round

Christian come out from the shallow end and stand your ground

Christmas is just a man-made holiday!
