Excitement fills
Each heart until
The day of Christmas arrives.
The hope of seeing
Family
This thought our hearts now drives:
Prepare for that day
Be merry and gay
Despite the grey outside.
Cook and bake
And frost the cake
Each present make with pride.
But always remember
This month of December
Is not about family members
It’s not about gifts
Or buying from thrifts
With money saved up since November.
We often forget
And have this mindset,
While really we celebrate Christ
Who came down in love
Our Lord from above
To become our great sacrifice.
He came as a man
He came as our God
He came through a virgin’s womb
It was his perfect plan
By this we are awed
For no royalty did he assume.
He lived among those
Who his actions opposed
And yet he loved them still.
Unconditional love
From Messiah above
He his perfect plan fulfilled.
So let us remember this Christmas Day
Not presents, nor food, nor gifts,
But Christ our Lord, Emmanuel,
And let him our hearts lift.
Merry Christmas to all
Near or far
Merry Christmas!
