Old Santa brought a bag of goodies to the kids at church,

The pastor brought perspective about St. Nick and our search-

For the Christ child received such gifts from three kings wandering,

Their modern day, our prophecy; about a foretold King.

 

Today no one has touched the hem of Him who leads us now,

Our Christmas tree the ornaments and lights before Him bow,

Round ornaments upon the tree remind us of the earth,

And, of the love of God and Christ who loved us from his birth.

 

Each string of lights; these star-like lights from tree top to the base,

Will draw us in to lose our sin, and former life erase,

Yet, at the very top an angel or a star we see,

Just pray this Christmas to our Christ; forgiveness you will see.

 

 We are the creatures here on earth; we try to be profound,

All reason and all logic leave us on unsettled ground,

ear Christ, who wrote the book of love please capture us once more,

With strength of mind and heart and soul to Heaven we will soar!
