Christmas Is-
~
The sweetest carol ever sung
Proclaimed my Saviour's birth,
As hosts of angels hovered o'er
The Lord of Heaven and earth.
~
It matters not the month He came,
Nor yet the day nor hour;
The glorious truth is that this babe
Was God in all His power.
~
I cannot comprehend, I'm sure,
That mother's pondered thought,
As she in silence gazed upon
This Son her labour brought.
~
And then a song burst from her heart
In praise to God above
That of all maidens He chose her
To bear this Son of love.
~
There is no voice of mortal tongue
That can express the joy
That then was show'red upon the world
In that wee Baby Boy.
~
But baby boys will soon grow up,
And hers was no exception.
As years flew by she was amazed
At His all-wise perception.
~
How sacrilegious seems to be
This crass commercial din
The world has stooped to thus employ
To honour such a King!
~
The love of God for sinful man-
Oh, hear the clarion call!
Gift giving's but a symbol of
The greatest Gift of all!
~
In silence let me bow my knees
And bare my heart to Heaven
To say I want no other gift
Than what to me's been given
~
He is my King! My holy King!
I'm in His family.
Yet I'm a princess of no worth
Beyond His love for me.
~
This fact is such a precious truth,
I've scarcely breath to tell,
That He would go to such great length
To rescue me from Hell.
~
No wonder songs and praise break forth;
To Him 'tis more than due!
Tongues cannot find words to proclaim
His love for me-AND you!
