Jesus

Jesus today is the day of your birth 
The very day you came down to earth

Sometimes we forget the real reason for this time of year 
We get caught up in the partying and cheer

And forget why you were really sent 
And the short time that you had spent

Trying to show us the right way to live 
Showing how to be kind to one another and give

As much as we can to the unfortunate people of this land

To live a good and honest life 
Being a good husband and wife

Bringing your children up to believe 
Doing good you will always receive

The blessing and protection of the lord

God has never let me down 
Through times of trouble I have found
