If we were asked to define Christmas in one word, it would have to be LOVE, for John tells us in his wonderful gospel -- "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. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved." It must have been the wonder of these verses that inspired Rev. J. M. Driver to write about the "Wonderful Story of Love."
"Wonderful story of love! Tell it to me again. Wonderful story of love! Wake the immortal strain! Angels with rapture announce it; Shepherds with wonder receive it; Sinner, oh, won't you believe it? Wonderful story of love!
Wonderful story of love! Though you are far away. Wonderful story of love! Still He doth call today! Calling from Calvary's mountain, down from the crystal bright fountain, Even from the dawn of creation, Wonderful story of love!
Wonderful story of love! Jesus provides a rest. Wonderful story of love! For all the pure and blest: Rest in those mansions above us, with those who've gone on before us, Singing the rapturous chorus, Wonderful story of love!
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful story of love!"
