I Don’t Recognize CHRISTmas ~

CHRISTmas has become,
more of a pagan holiday
now not even the manger
can some put on display.

They’ve done a good job taking,
CHRIST out of the big picture
even the cards they make and sell
now seldom have a scripture.

CHRISTmas has become,
just another time to gather
at parties and at homes
where Jesus doesn’t matter.

There’s always plenty of food,
and lots of drinks to go around
but, Jesus’ name isn’t mentioned
unless someone has a meltdown.

I don’t recognize CHRISTmas,
for me it is just not the same
now that I offend so many . . .
when I say my Saviors name!

John 1:14

“And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.”

CHRISTmas Morn Is Here ~

CHRISTmas morn is here,
I hear the angels sing
rise up and come . . .
greet your newborn King.

Bow to your knees,
praise His mighty name
for, because of this Babe
nothing will be the same.

Oh, how Wonderful He is,
I hear the saints join in
a Savior to the world
forgiveness for our sin.

Love has come down,
from His heavenly place
hearken to the gift
of God’s mercy and grace.

Christmas morn is here,
sing ~ hallelujah ~ sing
open up your hearts . . .
to the truth Jesus brings!

Merry CHRISTmas

Grace Came ~

Grace was made flesh,
it was human and real
it prayed and it supped
it taught and it healed.

Grace came to save,
to justify and set free
grace imparted faith
to walk on the sea.

Grace came to give,
freedom and liberty
grace came to end
sinful man’s misery.

Grace came to supply,
strength to the weak
grace came to love
the poor and the meek.

Grace came in truth,
while here on earth
grace died on the cross
to bring all new birth.

Grace came in body,
heart, mind and soul
grace came in peace
to heal and make whole!

Christmas’ True Meaning

of Jesus’ birth on this day.
