The Season

Put away the ornaments,
The day is past and done,
We've eaten all the feast,
That honors Christ the Son.

The New Year is upon us,
It's time for drink and mirth,
Our party life is hindered,
By thoughts of Saviour's Birth.

Back to daily grind,
Our Holidays are through,
It's time to earn a living,
There's so much work to do.

Is Christ within your thoughts?
Or only in the season?
The Son of God came down,
Our sin, it was the reason.

So think about the Saviour,
As day by day you're living,
Give your heart to Christ,
And practice love and giving.
