Christmas' Essence
"... The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible
Christmas shows compassion in action's best
Exemplified by God midst loving zest
Reaching down to us, offering great gift
Grant of eternal life, wondrously blest.
Christmas radiates hope with vibrant cheer
Since the Saviour* brought us redemption dear
As sweet Baby bearing Emmanuel's name
Assuring Almighty's presence so near.
Christmas reverberates serene joy-shout
Of angels' choir "peace on earth" without doubt
Echoing good will that rings kindness' chime
Silencing chaotic pain, smiting pout.
Christmas magnifies divine grace for all
Multiplying freely yon sharing call
To conquer covetous acts of greed's gain
Uplifting soul from selfishness' down fall.
Christmas prevails along gratitude glow
Marked by caring deeds of forgiveness-flow
While giving and thanksgiving spirit reigns
Now, tomorrow, and all days that follow.
Such essence drives Christmas poetry-bliss
Surpassing festive meetings we can't miss
For glorious victory surely lingers
We all can express from our hearts' abyss.
*Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
