Let's
take back Christmas! It's not "Happy Holidays"; it's "Merry
Christmas!" It's not all about St. Nick; it's about Jesus! The magic of
the season was brought about by the birth of a King; the birth of a baby laid
in a manager, and the wise men who brought gifts from afar. As the song goes,
"Oh, come let us adore Him. Oh, come let us adore Him. Christ the
Lord!"
Christmas Is About Jesus
Christmas
is drawing nigh;
All is jolly with halls
decked in holly-
It's
a wonderful time of the year!
There
are songs of Jingle Bells and Silver Bells;
Families
laughing, hugging, drawing near;
Ginger
bread houses with cinnamon smells.
What
a wonderful time of the year!
There
are children giggling with glee;
Santa
flying 'cross the hemisphere;
Ornaments
on the tree.
Christmas
is drawing nigh.
Sleigh
bells ringing and people singing-
It’s
a wonderful time of the year!
There are wrappings with
ribbon and bows;
Smiles
and Christmas cheer;
Stories
of Rudolph with his bright, red nose.
What
a wonderful time of the year!
There’s
hope, peace, and goodwill;
A
baby born with love to share;
A
Savior come; a promise to fill.
Trees
are adorned celebrating the Lord is born-
It’s
a wonderful time of the year!
There are stories of wise men
traveling afar;
Shepherds
in the field on a night, so clear.
Shining
bright, is a northern star.
Christmas
is drawing nigh!
Not
a time to let joy pass on by.
“Fa
la la, la la la, la” –
More
than gifts to give, my Jesus lives!
