Christmas is coming
The turkey’s getting fat
Children cry for presents
Thinking that is that.
But what is forgotten
The greatest present of all time
That Lord Jesus died for us
And saved your life and mine,
It’s not about the goodies
Or about the Christmas tree
Although they’re very nice to have
And certainly not free!
It’s not about the stockings
Or the mince pies and reindeer
It’s not dear old Father Christmas
Or the so called festive cheer.
It’s not a time for greed greed greed
Or want want want want want
It’s not a time to break the bank
Or waste what we haven’t got.
It’s the time when darkness turned to light
The birthday of our Lord
A little babe who did no wrong
And who should be adored.
So whilst you’re busy having fun
And fielding demands
Remind them why we celebrate
And what our God has done.
A lowly stable’s all He had
His bed a bit of straw
Sent to us to save our souls
Our debt of sin He bore.
The stars shine bright to light His way
As angels His praises sing
So don’t forget on Christmas Day
Who gave us everything
Life everlasting
Love, hope and peace,
A light in the darkness
Be thankful at least.
Just because
