Turn to Bethlehem

Turn to Bethlehem
away from the mall
the sales are an illusion
turning our minds from You
our hearts on earthly focus

Turn to Bethlehem
the birth of our Savior
God emptying Himself
coming to earth as a man
dying in our place

Turn to Bethlehem
the fulfillment of prophecy
God giving Himself for us
walking the way of the cross
that we may rise in victory

Turn to Bethlehem
sharing our joy
in God’s keeping of His promise
believing that He is true to His word
the he will come again in Glory
