Twas the Night Before Christmas

                                     

                                

Twas the night before Christmas

 and oh what a sight 


All across America millions of lights

Wrapping of presents, good things to do

despite the best efforts of the ACLU

People are singing, churches are full 

Pastors are preaching in this season of 
yule

It's not about Santa though registers ring

It's time to remember the soon coming 
King

Even those who've forgotten what it's really about 
Are hit by the fallout from the Heavenly shouts

To many their sorrows become amplified 

after all it is Christmas, nobody should cry,

But children are suffering, people still starve,

Haters still murder, robbers still rob

Nothing comes out perfect, 
though we're aiming so high

Why are we hurting ?

Why is it we cry?

If God didn't enter the dark of our night

The Hope of the ages, Pure Love and True Light

Would we notice of the suffering of others in pain

What would we aim for, there'd be nothing to gain

But God stepped into our darkness, took on human life 

The incarnate God-Man, True God and Pure Light

A helpless babe first

Then to pay for our sins,

He suffered the worst,
that man had to give


in Love's purest burst
He poured out his life, 

He thought of us first, he took on our strife

Then he rose from the dead, His body not found

Since He's now in heaven,
the King of many crowns !




But at this time of year, we remember His birth

It's now time to celebrate, take in the mirth

Cause my friend there is hope, life can begin

In your personal darkness in this world filled with sin

Filled with liars, dissemblers, power mongers and clowns,

deceitful politicians and subversives abound 

 
illness and sadness but not enough love

The way of the earth but what of above ?

It's all been allowed to make you look up, 

there's something better, it's out there

His salvation, His Love

For He will come again, in judgement  you see

To put an end to all evil, to set His people free

Yes a new world is coming, and His will it will be


Is He coming for you ?


He is coming for me

A Merry and Blessed Christmas to you all!
