THE LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS
May the light that shone over Bethlehem that night
Be in our hearts at Christmas burning ever bright,
Helping to fill this world with His great eternal love,
May we hear the message the angels brought from above.
It is not the gifts or the pretty tinsel on the lovely tree,
Or the hurry and scurry, the cooking and all the revery,
But Christmas is peace and caring, building love within,
The light that shines in darkness and frees us from sin.
Let us remember the Christ-Child on this special day,
Although not many earthly things may come our way,
For if the love of family and friends does freely abound
There will the true light of Christmas be also found.
May we all be blessed on this wonderful Christmas day
With the things that matter most, not ones that fade away,
But fond memories and togetherness in eternal harmony
With loved ones close by or far away, but one in unity,
