This Christmas
December 12, 2008
This Christmas is full of woe
Pulling us under the under tow
Sadness abounds and takes a hold
Making us forget the story told
This Christmas is dark and bleak
It makes us fret from week to week
It give us worry and wrinkles too
It makes us to not think of YOU
This Christmas the rain falls down
And muddies up our hearts and the ground
It blurs our visions of sugar plums
And makes us sigh and say Ho Hum
This Christmas the joy is gone
It takes away our feeling of home
It makes the songs we sing so sad
It makes our glee into raging mad
BUT
A Voice from above I hear so slight
That whispers to me into the night
The story forgotten is still so true
It's told forever for me and you
Cheer up and sing praises clear
That should be said through out the year
The Love's not lost for eternity
That Father plead for us to see
Though the world continues to turn and rip
Cannot suspend love from His lips
A Blessed gift He gave to us
To lift our hearts when about to bust
Look past it all and clear the view
The gift He gave to me and you
Should warm our hearts and make us smile
The story told of that precious child
So this Christmas is not what we imagine
For the truths distorted by the world's perception
Depression projected and hardships abound
Is only the world pulling us down
Look above and beyond onto the light
For a GIFT was given upon this night
That cuts the darkness to the clear
That will sustain us all throughout the year
This Christmas is a promise kept
To remind us all when we wept
That Father is and Son shall be
Forever a Saviour for you and me.
Merry Christmas
