You are singing it already aren't you?
It dawned on me that the people serving in the garage yesterday probably got to hear that song a hundred times ( presuming they were playing a Christmas CD on a loop) and hundreds of customers got to hear at least part of it as they went about their day.
'Oh My Lord, You sent Your Son to save us, Oh my Lord, Your very self You gave us, Oh my Lord that sin may not enslave us and love may reign once more' - some of the words from that song. And those words are being played in shops up and down the land for weeks in the run up to Christmas. How fantastic is that? And of course that is not the only Godly song with gospel words which is getting an airing. All the carols telling the Christmas story are being blasted out too. Yes, of course there are the Santa Baby's and the Rudolphs as well. But really, this time of year is an opportunity like no other for God's word to get out there and get into peoples heads.
How thankful should we be that we live in a country where Bible words can be played in shops and garages and people hum along and tap their toes ? It might not last so we should make the most of it whilst we can. We should be praying for more, better, more spiritual Christmas songs to be released. 'Cos like the man once said - why should the devil have all the good music ? :-)

Lord, every time I hear a Christmas song proclaiming Your truth these next few days remind me to add my faith to what is being spoken out. Let the words of these songs find fertile ground in people's hearts this Christmas and cause them to think about You. Thank you that despite all the secularism of our world we are still a country which celebrates Christmas and stops absolutely everything for that one day in the year - the day we celebrate Your birth.
