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.
