Christmas Time (2022)

Christmas time

What does it mean?

Gifts around our trees?

Or is it Saviour in a crib

And shepherds on their knees?

 

Christmas time

What do we do?

Eat and drink in much excess?

Or is it God with us now

So sinners He can bless?

 

Christmas time

What do we watch?

Repeats on our T.V.?

Or do we look on wooden cross –

The Lord who died for me?

 

Christmas time

What do we hear?

The same old Christmas songs?

Or do we hear the Word of God

Who came to right our wrongs?

 

Christmas time

What do we think?

Is it just Santa Claus?

Or do we know of God’s good grace,

He supplies from heavenly stores?

 

Christmas time

Is more than gifts

Around a pretty tree.

It’s more than lots of food and drink

And films on our T.V.

It’s more than all those Christmas songs

We hear from year to year.

It’s more than Santa in red coat -

It’s Emmanu’El – God is here!
