Starting out from thinking about the fake halo angels and tea-towel clothed shepherds in school nativity plays, this song focuses on receiving in the true gift of God at Christmas - the child foretold by the prophets who grew to be our saviour.
Andy Biggs, Catherine Revill
Yes - It's a Christmas song..!. This sprang out of of a reflection on Christmas being a time when many families gather. We come together for all kind of valid reasons, but it's good to be reminded that the primary reason is that we are gathering in the name of Jesus. All the celebration, feasting and gift giving is great, but he is "the reason for the season", and our true home is in Him. We can enjoy fellowship in His Church and peace with Him whatever our earthy family background is.
