O Christmas by Byron Lim

It has been 5 years since I wrote this song and I believe the message is still as meaningful as before if not more endearing. Thanks Wenslyn for transcribing this onto a music sheet for me.

The beauty of this song is in its internal message. (Clue: something to do with the bold verbs) The melody of the song is purposely written not to be melancholic but to be very solemn and reflective. Christmas is not only a time to be merry but also a time to be silent as we remember the purpose of the blessed event. 

Christmas, O Christmas
A time to care for the people around
A time to hope in the newborn Son
A time to remember of what has been done
Christmas, O Christmas

Christmas, O Christmas
A time to invite someone to the Lord
A time to spread the good news everywhere
A time for thanksgiving and kneeling in pray’r
Christmas, O Christmas

Christmas, O Christmas
A time to make joyful music to Him
A time to allow for God’s work to begin
A time to surrender and turn from our sin!

Christmas, O Christmas
