CHRISTMAS TIME IT SEEMS TO BE
ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FOR ME.
MOST FIND IT STRANGE THAT I SHOULD SAY
MERRY CHRISTMAS MOST EVERYDAY.
AS A CHILD THE MOST WONDROUS TIME WILL BE
TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR NATURALLY.
WE ANTICIPATE THE GIFTS WE GET,
BE IT FROM SANTA OR PARENTS YET.
IT BRINGS A GLOW AND THEN A SMILE,
SHOWERED WITH JOY FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
GOOD TIMES WILL COME AND THEN THEY GO.
PERHAPS WILL ARRIVE A LITTLE SNOW.
AS TIME WILL PASS WE MAY FORGET THE CHEERS,
THEY MAY NOT LAST TILL LATER YEARS.
THERE IS A JOY I FOUND YEARS AGO,
IN THE MIDST OF PAIN AND SORROW,
ON A QUEST FOR MANY ANSWERS YET
I QUESTIONED GOD, YOU BET.
SOMETIMES I WONDERED WHY THE HAPPY SHOULD CRY
OR SOMETIMES I WOULD JUST WONDER WHY?
BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL, HE MET ME THERE
WITH ANSWERS AND THOUGHTS TO SHARE.
HE OPENED MY HEART AND OPENED MY MIND
HE ADDRESSED THE ISSUES IN LIKE AND KIND.
HE SAVED MY SOUL IN A WONDROUS WAY,
AND KEEPS ME THERE TODAY.
THOUGH THERE IS A STRUGGLE FROM DAY TO DAY
I CATCH MYSELF AND THEN I PRAY.
I MESSED UP DEAR LORD PLEASE FORGIVE
FOR A RIGHTEOUS LIFE I WANT TO LIVE.
IN THE MIDST OF LIGHTS IN THE DARK OF THE YEAR
WE SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR LORD SO DEAR.
HE WAS BORN INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE
EVERY SOUL THAT HIS FATHER GAVE.
SO MERRY CHRISTMAS IS A PRAYER FOR YOU
THAT YOU MAY FIND HIS JOY TOO.
IT BRINGS A GIFT OF A TRUE SMILE
EVEN FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
PERHAPS GOD WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
WITH A GENTLE WHISPER OR HIS ANGEL BAND.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL
PASS IT ON LEST YOU FALL
