This Christmas

This Christmas

It's that very special time of year

Filled with hope and abundant cheer

It's time to share with those we know

Why our hearts are all aglow.

We see the trimming 'round the tree

We smell the 'tatoes and turkey

It gives our spirits such a lift

But is really about the gifts?

No, it's about a special child

One who was meek and oh so mild

He came that he might save the world

Every man, woman, boy and girl.

Christ did come and his life did give

So that we may eternally live

It was never about Santa, or girls and boys

And all the over-expensive toys.

But in world so commercialized

Retailer's dreams were realized

To make big money is what they could see

Selling toys and games and plastic nativities.

Let's get to the place Christmas ought to be

About that special birth for you and me

Forget the glitter and all the gloss

And remember the man upon the Cross.

Christmas is more than a day off with pay

It's a time to reflect - a time to pray

To reach for God's most precious goal

To save the world, to save our souls.
