Candy canes on Christmas trees
A
message loud and clear,
Telling us it won't
be long ...
‘Til Christmastime is here.
Yet some of us tend to forget
Among
the gifts and glory;
The reason for this
holiday,
An awesome, real life story!
You see, there was this lady,
A
beauty, yes indeed ...
Searching for a place
to rest,
Most certainly in need.
For time was passing quickly,
And she,
my friends, was due ...
To give birth to a
baby boy,
A gift for all of you!
People came from near and far
To gaze
upon this child;
Many walked for days and
nights,
To them ... a trip worth while.
They traveled, tired and weary,
Back
then they had no car;
No maps to give
directions,
Only one bright shining star.
It led them to our Saviour
Who didn't
have a bed;
Only straw and swaddling
clothes,
To rest his precious head.
They brought to Him so many gifts,
All
worthy of a King;
For some had heard that He,
Himself ...
Would be an offering.
So each year at this holiday,
With the
rush of things to do;
Remember that this
child was BORN,
To DIE for me and
you.
