This Christmas We Buy
Dear sisters and brothers, just think of Jesus
in this season to honor His birth.
Love comes into our hearts as we give
Him praise and also think of our total worth.

We have You, Jesus, inside of us
and Your spirit allows us to love You even more!
With our credit cards and saved up cash
we will run to sales in every store.

But of course, Jesus, shopping isn't the reason
we truely do love and honor this special day.
And many carrols we will be singing
as we go shopping - we must be on our way.

There I go again, this shopping bug in me doesn't
want me to write about Christ as I should!
My words keep going back to shopping
and only giving to others who I judge as good.

O, Jesus, forgive me for writing this poem -
but there must be some reason why.
You give us only what is good for us -
some gifts You just can't buy.
