It's not just about the manger Where the baby lay It's not all about the angels Who sang for him that day It's not just about the shepherds Or the bright and shining star Oh, it's not all about the wisemen Who travelled from afar It's about the cross It's about my sin It's about how Jesus came to be born once So that we could be born again It's about the stone That was rolled away So that you and I could have real life someday It's about the cross It's about the cross It's not just about the presents Underneath the tree It's not all about the feeling That the season brings to me It's not just about coming home To be with those you love It's not all about the beauty In the snow I'm dreaming of It's about the cross It's about my sin It's about how Jesus came to be born once So that we could be born again It's about the stone That was rolled away So that you and I could have real life someday It's about the cross The beginning of the story is wonderful and great But it's the ending that can save you and that's why we celebrate It's about the cross It's about my sin It's about how Jesus came to be born once So that we could be born again It's about God's love Nailed to a tree It's about every drop of blood That flowed from Him when it should have been me It's about the stone That was rolled away So that you and I could have real life someday So that you and I could have real life someday It's about the cross It's about the cross
