The night before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas
A bonny Christmas eve
Dark skies with twinkling lights
Awaiting reindeer feet
They'll fly over the heavens
Carry Santa on his sleigh
They'll land on many rooftops
And bring gifts to everyone
But this night isn't about presents
It's about the gift of Jesus Christ
He came to Earth to save us
To help put all our souls right
He was sent by God on high
The purest gift of forgiveness
To remind us of God's favour
His love and grace and mercy
Tell the children about Jesus
How we celebrate His birth
Remind them that this celebration
Is not just gifts and mirth
We remember hope and joy
We remember compassion and peace
We remember true faith
And what this Yuletide means
So, tuck the kids in tightly
Snug as little bugs
Let them dream of kindness
Peace and joy; hope and love
Thank you to God and Jesus
For everything You do
We appreciate Your gift
We appreciate all You do
For the gift is in the giving
Of the best of who we are
We are all capable of being
Pure and bright little stars
Like the wise men we'll look up
And see the starry skies above
We'll place our faith in You
And know that we are loved
