December 5 or 6 B.C. (Parody of "December 1963") - ApologetiX

Oh, holy night -- Late December 5 or 6 B. C

Was a special time in history

In Bethlehem -- oh, holy night

Oh, holy night -- You know we still don’t even know the date

The time of year or month when Jesus came

Celebrate it every night

Oh, I -- I got a funny feeling that the Lord ain’t amused

When we fight-- about which holidays we all should use

Oh, holy night -- It’s not timing that’s the vital thing

Jesus never changes seasonally -- Late December or July

Why raise a fuss about which holy days are better?

Those things are shadows now and Jesus is all that matters

Oh, holy night

FIRST RAP

Scholars ain’t sure 'bout the birth of our Lord

The current way we figure out time was not designed

Till 500 years after Christ arrived and died

And the guy who tried to find the right time when Christ had died

And design the time line with B.C.

and A. D

Should get a B, C, or a D for sloppy math

And maybe a new abacus on top of that

Oh, wow, Co-loss-i-ans 2:16, let no one judge you

In regard to sabbaths, holidays or what’s good food

Oh, holy night

Put the tinsel on the tree tonight

Read along in Romans 14:5 -- Celebrate it when you like

SECOND RAP

Frankly in the valley of death He’s a powerful shepherd in December

Or whatever date the calendar sets

I think I counted 11 months without it and yet

The Christmas holiday gets a vast amount of attention

So I thought I would mention that we don’t know just when the

Holy blessed event took place -- It might have been May

The Bible ain’t specific about the month or the day

With Orthodox Christmas it’s January 6th

For the rest of us Christians December 25th

But the most important thing is that Christ is Lord and King

And that’s all the more reason to lift up the Lord Jesus

In all the four seasons

The Christmas rush may be over in December

But up in Heaven they’ll be praising the Lord forever

Oh, holy night
