The Reason for Christmas
聖誕的意義

1.
The reason for Christmas is loving and sharing,
and giving far more than we get;
For the birth of the Christ-child reminds us once more,
of how much we are all in his debt.
(all in his debt.)
聖誕的意義是愛與分享,
甚至神賜予 遠超乎人所想;
聖子降生 再一次提醒人,
祂所賜給我們何等的恩惠。
(何等恩惠)

2.
He came to bring healing and grace and salvation,
to reconcile those who are apart,
In a world full of taking and grabbing and making,
how much we now need a new start.
(need a new start.) 
救主帶來醫治和恩典與救恩,
為使分離者 變為和睦,
在罪惡者 自作自受的世界，
多麼需要一個新的開始。
(新的開始)。

The reason for Christmas, the reason for Christmas,
the reason for Christmas is him!
(reason is him!)
聖誕節的意義, 聖誕節的意義,
聖誕的意義是耶穌！
(是耶穌！)

3.
So centre your Christmas in loving and sharing,
and mean ev'ry carol you sing;
The secular trimmings will fade into nothing,
and you will be left with the joy of the message
the Christ-child came to bring!
讓耶穌的愛與分享在你心中,
歡唱一切詩歌傳頌祂,
世上裝飾點綴 無能與祂相比,
要留下基督來到的福音
會帶給你 喜悅的信息！

The reason for Christmas is him!
聖誕佳音 就是耶穌！
