CHRISTMAS
Christmas time is here again the
years they seem to fly
As soon as one gets started another
one goes by
We tend to think of family and friends,
the ones we don't see
Of how we laughed with one another
around the Christmas tree
We had turkey and the vegies and
lovely Christmas Pud
Or trifle and mince pies with cream,
Oh wasn't it so good
An apple and an orange and perhaps
a thr'peny bit
Were hanging in a stocking if mum
could manage it.
Today the kids are different, they
just expect much more
Computer games, mobile phones, presents
by the score
Family times just aren't the same
no singing by the fire
Or listening to carols, sung by
a heavenly choir
Perhaps we should remember at this
time of year
Why as a babe in Bethlehem Jesus
did appear
He came to bring eternal life to
all who would believe
And nobody will perish if they just
receive
God's free gift of Jesus Christ to
set each person free
The old, the young, the short, the
tall, even you and me
So please think, of these things,
on this Christmas morn
And remember why, Jesus Christ,
as a babe was born
