'twas the Day Before Christmas Eve
‘Twas the day before Christmas eve
We gathered at the church
All sat transfixed
Not even a lurch
The preacher was ‘hot’
And spoke of the stress
He wanted the people
To hear and be blessed
“We have to remember
What Christmas is about
The birth of our Savior”
Then someone did shout!
It’s not about the gifts
‘Though we should always be a giver
It’s about He who came
Bringing Life from ‘The River’
Now what is the reason
If just a ‘holiday’ is this
Without the birth of Jesus
Another meaning is a miss
So if you’ve given in
To the hustle and bustle
And can’t find rest
Because of the tussle
Just think on these things
That Jesus was born
Remembering why
We celebrate Christmas morn
He came to bring peace
Give us access to heaven
All should honor Jesus
On this day given
So there’s hope for the world
To all who believe
In Him you’ll find rest
Just ask and receive
