While watching the Patriots coast to 15-0 yesterday over the Dolphins, I was surprised to hear Relient K‘s “Sleigh Ride” as the Christmas music in and out of the break one time.
I ended up purchasing the entire album from Relient K after I enjoying the two songs I had previously purchased. My favorite track on the album is “I Celebrate the Day.” The last section of lyrics reads:
And I
I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day
Pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life
Pray for You to save my life
Tomorrow, we’ll celebrate the birth of Christ. The new-born, cute, cuddly, not crying, laying in a manger, baby. It was the start of a journey that would end with His death on the cross, saving us from our sins and giving us a new birth, a spiritual rebirth, that we might live forever with Him.
So tomorrow, we celebrate the day. Merry Christmas!
