They say Christmas comes but once a year and that’s true
But the acceptance of God’s greatest gift to you
Is the birth of the child lying in a straw bed made from a feeding box
It comes once a year but not just one day when the kids hang up sox
But Christmas to me is an ongoing celebration
The birth of the Christ Child given with love and devotion
The adventure started on that glorious day in history
And continued as the child lived, taught and helped unlock life’s mysteries
He came as an announcement from our Heavenly Father on high
He walked on water, healed the lame then was hung on a cross to die
Death could not hold him and he rose up from the grave
By giving our heart to him our souls are thus saved
Let not Christmas end after just one day each year
When children look for Santa, open presents and cheer
Keep it alive until December 25th. Comes once more
Let us keep the wreath hanging all year on your front door
Pray each day a prayer of praise that God so loved us all
So that each one will make ready when the final trumpets call
Merry CHRISTmas!
How marvelous to remember, all year through.
GOD BLESS YOU
