CHRISTMAS – Where is it Written? By Bro H

Verse 1 They told us bells mean joy And candles mean the light Reindeer fly through winter skies On a borrowed holy night A log burns down to ashes Wreaths hang on the door But I searched our ancient record And I couldn’t find it there before Chorus Where is it written? Where does it stand? In the law, the prophets Or the story of Jacob’s land If it’s holy, it’s rooted In truth set apart But these things came later Not from a shepherd’s heart Verse 2 December twenty-fifth Was never marked by God No priestly course, no altar fire No word the prophets taught No shepherds in the snow No feasts the fathers knew The date was claimed by other gods Long before Bethlehem too Chorus Where is it written? Show me the line Where Israel was told This season was divine We honor Christ with reverence With obedience and love Not with customs handed down From the nations round about Verse 3 Bells rang long before the church For spirits, luck, and cheer The yule log burned for dying suns To pull the daylight near Reindeer ran with pagan gods Through forests cold and dark But our Redeemer came in flesh To leave a different mark Bridge This isn’t anger This isn’t pride We’re not condemning Those who choose otherwise But conscience led us here When truth was fully shown To walk a narrower path And honor Christ alone Verse 4 We still gather at the table Still give thanks and break the bread We still rejoice that Christ was born That the Word was clothed in flesh But we won’t dress Him in a costume Or trade Him for a tale We remember Him in truth Not through borrowed myth and veil Final Chorus So if you ask us kindly Why we stepped away It’s not that we reject the Christ It’s that we chose His way We found no tree, no bell, no date In Israel’s ancient song So we honor Him in spirit And we don’t pretend it’s wrong Outro We don’t celebrate Christmas Out of conscience, not disdain We follow truth where Scripture leads And we’re content to remain
