Christmas
Pretty little Christmas lights
everywhere
windows and Christmas trees
candles and hearts
millions in colours
glittering,
delighting the heart of the world
it’s Christmas!
Each little light
a Gentle message from God
A witness to us
Even long before the Light had dawned
It was announced
‘people walking in darkness have seen a Great Light’ (1)
And He said
‘I have come into the world as a light,
so that no one who believes in Me
should stay in darkness’ (2)
‘Shout for joy to the LORD all the earth
Burst into jubilant song’ (3)
It’s Christmas!
As each and every pretty little light
Carries His Message of love to our hearts
A time of peace to all
A time to give!
Even as the world
flock to trade
The spirit is to give
Because He gave
And every precious little gift
Every token of love
A message to the world
‘God so loved the world
He gave His one and only Son,
That, whoever believes in Him
shall not perish but have eternal life’ (4)
And peace
The ever evading dream of the world
Every yearn of the heart
A world cries out
And
‘Unto us a Child is born,
a Son is given,
He will be called Wonderful Councilor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace’ (5)
And He said:
‘Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to earth.
I did not come to bring peace but a sword’ (6)
‘For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than a double edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit’ (7)
‘Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives’ (8)
And every well wish for Christmas -
‘Merry Christmas!
Compliments of the season!
and
Season’s Greetings!’
Reminds the heart
The only peace
Is different
It is found in Him
Lights, gifts and well wishes Celebrating THE GIFT!
and a world can never say ‘I did not know’
Because it’s all in Christmas!
