Turn to Bethlehem – v2

Turn to Bethlehem
away from the mall;
the sales are an illusion,
turning our minds from God,
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;
God’s keeping of His promise,
believing that He is true to His word,
that He will come again in Glory
