On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: beauty for ashes, His Word for health and healing, joy for our soul, light to light the way, and a baby in a manger.
When this tiny baby came into this world he brought us beauty for ashes, life for death, forgiveness for our sins, and life for evermore.
This little baby would grow up always giving, while getting nothing in return. He gave of Himself freely that we might have everlasting life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).
“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:3).
