Christmas

Christmas is the time of year,

When December 25 brings joy and cheer.

And when the time comes around,

People are buying gifts and toys in town.

The gift that God gave us was not a kite,

It was the Saviour that glorious night.

And when the shepherds were all in fright,

They saw the star shining so bright.

Then they started following the star,

It wasn’t by train or by a car.

They found the babe in bed filled with hay,

And worshiped Him reverently that long ago day.
