A Christmas Gift
Jesus Christ came to earth
That wonderful Christmas Day.
Nothing’s been the same since His birth.
He has guided us to see the way.
Jesus has helped us to believe
In the God who loves us so.
And though in time he had to leave,
His life and love we’ll always know.
Jesus gave us another way
To accept God as our own.
Even to this very day
His love for us is shown.
All we ever have to do
To have life forever more,
Is to have faith that is true
That faith will have you at Heaven’s door.
Christmas Comes Once a Year
Christmas comes but once a year
Bringing memories of the past,
Warm and tender times are near;
At least, for the moment, they will last.
It’s time to remember You my Lord
And all that you have done for me.
A time that family cannot be ignored
As we gather together under the tree.
Yet, it lasts for one short day;
But every year it lets us know
That everything which we pray
Is ours wherever we may go.
Born on Christmas Day
Jesus was born on Christmas day
In a manger so long ago.
Yet, in that stable filled with hay,
God’s only son began to grow.
His stay on earth was ever so brief,
But what He did will always be.
Though He suffered much pain and grief,
He died for our sins and made us free.
So, even now as we live today,
We can remember what He has done
Giving us the chance to live in His grace
Because of the victory He has won.
