My Christmas Tree

I love my shining Christmas tree -
And Jesus loves it too,
Because He knows what it means to me;
I�ll share that now with you...

Atop my shining tree I place a
Star to shine out bright,
Reminding me of Wise Men who
Were led by His star�s light.

And there within the branches
Many strands of light are curled -
Symbolic that it�s still His truth
That lights a darkened world!

A wooden manger was His bed
When shepherds came to see -
And wooden toys and tools He saw
While He played at Joseph�s knee.

His hands in youth, were taught to train
The wood the way to bend -
And from a wooden ship He called
Some men to follow Him.

He laid upon a wooden ship,
A pillow �neath His head,
The night the raging storm arose
And �Peace, be still� was said.

At last He laid upon the wood,
While wood thorns pierced His brow,
And let the ugly scars be made -
So precious to me now.

...Nails in His hands and in His feet
Brought blood that paid the price -
A WOODEN cross could not but hold
The price of Paradise!

...I cherish, yes, my Christmas tree -
With shining lights above,
Because each branch, each trimming piece
Reminds me ... of God�s Love.
