Have we lost the values that created the United States of America?

Waiting For Christmas Eve

Waiting for Christmas Eve
By Franklin Price

Thinking now of Christmas eve
And that time so long ago
Born was the Christ child then
The Savior we would come to know

Born in a lowly manger
There was no room at the inn
Born of the virgin Mary
He came to save us from our sin

Three wise men came to see Him
They had traveled from afar
Each brought a precious gift for Him
They were guided by a star

Shepherds came from miles around
Angels sang on high
They worshiped then in wonder
When the Child began to cry

It seems we've lost the sight of this
As we move to Christmas eve
It's about the glitz and presents
Not in the message we receive

If you wonder why we're in a place
Where it's all about the me
Look first of all to Christmas eve
And I think that you will see
