Lord Have Mercy

An angel in a Christmas play Learning about Jesus this way People have become so earthy Lord have mercy Just place an X to blot out Christ And sell merchandise overpriced Some have no respect for the clergy Lord have mercy Let us once again remember All the month of December What Christmas means and be thirsty For God's mercy If America doesn't change soon And come to God_it will be hewn Burned_ for we are so unworthy Lord have mercy Remember the angel Gabriel Again and teach your children well God will look and find some worthy Lord have mercy Sponsor: Cyndi MacMillian Contest: Season Of Lights, Delight Theme : Christmas

I love this Sara ;} I'm guilty of Xmas as a teenager,,,though I did feel guilty as well. I tell my now six yr old granddaughter " remember who's birthday it is. When I light my candles yr round, she always likes to say a pray .

Intresting perspective from Ardrea regarding the X. I have not heard that one before. Great poem and important message. Good luck in the contest.

Andrea, said that it is a Greek letter that means something and is used by non-religious to represent Christ or Christmas..Since this is part of religion for me, it does not apply...Sara

I like this one, but about the Xmas, did you know that is not a bad thing really? The X is the cross for Jesus!!
