Christmas is all about Easter. I wrote this song a couple years ago when the meaning of Christmas was coming to me in a fresh way. I think the song speaks for itself.
It’s Christmas time in Bethlehem town.
The shepherds awake with angels all around.
"Go to Bethlehem the Baby to see;
He’ll save you from your sins, your Redeemer is He.
‘Cause on a hill far away He will bleed and die,
The sacrifice for all your sins.
On a hill far away God’s plan will be fulfilled
In a perfect way."
It’s Easter time. The Son of God is hanging on a tree.
The final cry is heard. In death Christ won the victory!
Don’t go to the tomb because He’s not there!
He has risen, your sin He can bear.
On a hill far away Jesus bled and died,
The sacrifice for all our sins.
On a hill far away God’s plan was fulfilled
In a pefect way.
Now it’s today. Sinners let’s run to His cross
And nail our sins there,
Count everything else as loss.
When we’re at His cross we see His face
And we are purified by Amazing Grace.
‘Cause on a hill far away my sins nailed Him there;
I left Him to die alone.
But on a hill far away God reached down in His love
And made the murderer His child.
On a hill far away Jesus bled and died,
The sacrifice for all my sin.
On a hill far away Jesus reaches out in love;
Sinner come to Him.
Jesus, I come
Jesus, I have sinned
I come
