If Jesus could come visiting this Christmas
and watch us celebrating his big day,
would he be impressed at our festive best,
or our posh, oh gosh, so marvelous display?

If Jesus could be sitting at our table
and see our banquet (fit for royalty)
do you think he'd be so proud,
and cheer our efforts loud,
and thank us kindly for our loyalty?

If Jesus took a look at all our presents,,
and knew the cost we tossed away to buy,
and the magnitude of sweat
and work they took to get,
do you think there'd be amazement in his eye?

And if Jesus stood there watching us all shopping,
pushing through the crowds of Christmas rush,
do you think perhaps he'd wish us to be stopping?
or ponder on the things we want so much?
Do you think he'd look with pride
as we ride our Christmas tide,
without one thought of Bethlehem to touch?

I don't know why I am asking myself questions,
just feeling something doesn't feel quite right,
guess it's all the news,those threats of what we'll lose,
and sights of poor souls homeless in the night.

Just seems to me that something's not real balanced,
just seems to be for many death is near,
it's hard to listen totally to carols,
when threats of war continually are clear.
Just wondering ,
has Christmas LOST Christ's message?
I'm positive that Jesus left it once,
I'm thinking he might say;
'Forget this festive play,
just share love's PEACE,'
but hey,that's just my hunch.
