Christmas



What is Christmas all about?


What is Christmas all about –
A man in a gown,
Flying above my town?

What is Christmas all about –
Gifts in a box,
Seasonal socks?

What is Christmas all about –
Parties, games and crackers
Like nothing else matters?

No, Christmas is more –
So very much more.

There’s God come to earth,
A child just like me.
Take a look
In his book
And there you will see;

A Christmas that’s real,
A Christmas that’s true,
The love of our God
For me and for you.

Waiting


I’m waiting,
Waiting for Christmas;
For turkey,
Mince pies
And chocolate.

I’m waiting,
Waiting for Christmas;
For cards,
Presents
And chocolate.

You’re waiting,
This Christmas;
You’re waiting,
For me.
For me to stop waiting
And to welcome you in.

Someone special


Angels
And song.

Shepherds,
Sheep and
Stable.

Wise Man
And gifts,
With camels.

All for a baby.

Must be someone special.

Tough


At this busy time of year
It’s hard to stop and think.
To think of others
For whom it’s hard
And life is tough.

At this busy time of year
With so much fun to share.
Help me to stop
And think and pray
For those where life is tough.

God over all


God of hope,
You made this world in love

God of love
You made us to live in peace

God of joy
You made us to be joyful

God of my life
You gave us Jesus

God over all
This Christmas

We give ourselves to you.

Communion
