In a manger born to us,
Without fame, without fuss;
The Lamb of God lay with the cow,
And, yet some way, yet some how...

He came to lead us to our place,
With His Father inside heaven's gates;
So, now we celebrate His birth,
On a day of glory filled with mirth.

Our trees are filled with ornaments and lights
The wreaths and garland make quite a sight;
We bake and cook and how we clean,
For we remember what this day means.

Our Lord has come so we sing,
Carols of joy as church bells ring;
We shop and wrap gifts to give,
And, provide for others a way to live.

Christmas comes but once a year,
But some of us our God we fear;
So Christmas is a way of life,
Helping others, relieving strife.

Jesus is the Savior born,
On this a Christmas morn;
He came to us to save our soul,
He made our payment, paid our toll.

As you celebrate this day,
Remember the child in the hay;
He is the reason we are here,
So celebrate Christmas throughout the year.

Christmas is my favorite time of year but I try to live with Christmas in my heart all year long. No greater gift have I ever received than the salvation of my soul that the Lord Jesus Christ has given me. He may have been born in a lowly stable but He provided us with the path to heaven's gates.

I hope that all of us can remember that there are many in this world who are living without basic necessities in this season of giving and help to provide for them. Please keep all those in want and all those who are suffering in any way in your prayers.
