Jesus' Christmas Holiday
Brothers and sisters now are the days fulfilled
God's holy Son's birthday has come to us again.
It's Christmas and Jesus' birth is celebrated
He's our Savior, our Resurrection and our Friend.

I pray you are up to the occasion this year
even though you have had sorrows.
Today is a day of thankfulness
a day of great hope for our many tomorrows.

Many of us stand strong in the faith
which was given to us by God's mercy and grace.
Let us smile and give the gift of Jesus' love,
let it show on everybody's face.

It is indeed Christmas,
churches will be packed full as can be.
But when Christmas is over, the preacher will say "Friends, come back to worship with me."

Alas, many were only there to celebrate Christmas
just like any other holiday.
Dear friends, I truly hope and pray that to our Jesus
you are really not that way.
