Here's my favorite non-traditional Christmas song by Chris Tomlin (of Indescribable and How Great Is Our God fame). Mom, thanks for buying me his CD for Christmas! It's a fantastic CD, maybe the best Christmas CD I've ever heard.
Indeed, Lord Jesus, we celebrate You today, because You were born so we may have life.
To my brothers and sisters in Cagayan de Oro, here's another Chris Tomlin song that I'd like to feature here, imploring today's Celebrant to show us His light in the recent darkness, and to give us strength and hope in that indeed, "greater things are yet to come and greater things are yet to be done in this city!"
