A Child Is Born

The days are cold and the nights get colder Each of us finds ourselves another year older. As Winter's snow will soon appear Welcome to my "Holiday home' at this special time of year... We prepare ourselves for a Thanksgiving fest Many doors open to welcome their guests. My home too, will be filled with those I hold dear Welcome to my "Holiday home' at this special time of year... The tree will be decorated with toys and lights So many can enjoy the festive sights. There is but one phrase that I'll want to hear Welcome to my "Holiday home' at this special time of year.. Long ago, shepherds to the stable came To honor the Child for Whom this day we name. The Lord of All was so humbly born there Welcome to my "Holiday home' at this special time of year... Wise men, too, came from the Eastern lands Riding their camels across the dessert sands. Presenting Him with gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh Welcome to my "Holiday home' at this special time of year... O'er the years the Holiday traditions we employ As this is the time of year for us to enjoy. But forget not the One whose birth returned man from fear Welcome to my "Holiday home' at this special time of year...
