‘Christmas’ is a time when we
Visit with friends and family,
To celebrate Christ’s lowly birth
Which brought Redemption’s Plan to earth.
At ‘Christmas’ time, kind thoughts are shared –
Even with strangers – everywhere;
Gifts are unwrapped, exposing love
That only comes from God above.
‘Christmas’ brings an atmosphere
Of love and peace and joy and cheer;
Of music with such ambience,
As causes coldest hearts to dance.
But ‘Christmas’ means much more to me
Than just the songs, gifts, lights, or tree;
It points toward a time to come
When I won’t celebrate alone…
For I’ll share with hearts redeemed by love,
The hearth of Christ … around God’s throne …
In heaven above….
