The Day After

The day has quickly past 
The gifts are all unwrapped
The wrappings have been swiftly thrown away
The Christmas feast is done
Guests have all gone home
Now you rest from such a busy day

Your mind goes drifting back
To the year that has just past
You write down all the wonderful events
Then you start to plan
For the year that is at hand
Hoping to achieve the very best

You start to make a list
Of thinks that you would wish
Would come true in the coming year
Perhaps this year would be
A good year to agree
A closer walk with God would be so dear

Take more time to pray
Read the word each day
Listen for the sound of His sweet voice
Help those who have needs
Be a friend indeed
Always strive to make the righteous choice

Tell God all your fears
Let Him dry your tears
He will fill your heart with His sweet peace
Bring your needs to Him
And you will always win
All your doubts and worry He’ll release

With these resolutions
We know that the conclusion
Will open up a year that’s full of life
So please take time to pray
That you would find a way
To have a closer walk with Jesus Christ

Christmas Poetry

It’s Christmas Day

It’s a day of great excitement
It’s a day of warmth and mirth
It’s a day of friends and family
It’s Christmas Day

It’s a day to exchange presents
It’s a day to have a feast
It’s a day share an eggnog
It’s Christmas Day

It’s a day we all year long for
It’s a day we hope for snow
It’s a day of favorite music
It’s Christmas Day

But more than all these wonderful things
More than almost anything
It’s a day that we all celebrate
The birthday of the King

For Jesus came to earth this day
In a lowly manger He did lay
He came to take our sins away
On this Christmas Day

Let’s all make sure we celebrate
The birthday of our Savior great
Who came to die in our place
On this Christmas Day

The Best Gift

What can I give you this Christmas
That would really touch your heart
What gift would last for your lifetime
What gift could rise off the charts

I could give you joy that will keep you
Through every hard day that you see
This joy would be deep down inside you
And would rise up whenever you need

I could give you peace that is lavish
That is more than this world has known
This peace would endure through the hard times
Because it’s peace that you always will own

I could give you hope for the future
Even when things look so bleak
You’ll have a hope that will always endure
And will carry you when you’re weak

Or maybe it’s love that you need
In a world where there is not enough
I could fill you with all you’re in need of
So your brimming to top with this love

After thinking all of this over
I’ve decided to give you a gift
One that comes with all that I’ve mentioned
One that lasts every day that you live

I give you Jesus, who died for your sins
Jesus, who gives you a new life within
Jesus, who asks you to please let Him in
So He can bring all these gifts

You can accept Him if only you’ll pray
Jesus, I’ve sinned, and I’ll stop today
I know that you died for my sin on that day
And all of my sins you will now take away
You rose again from the depths of the grave
To give me a life in heaven to stay,

If you prayed that prayer, that is enough
You have all the gifts that are listed above
And you’ll always be surrounded by love
Because Jesus now lives in you.

Meek and Mild

She came riding on a donkey
From many towns away
Ready to give birth to her first child
The ride she took was rugged
The trail sometimes was steep
Her journey would go on for many miles

Joseph walked and held the reins
Guiding her along
Wishing he could ease the pain she felt
When they reached their destination
Relief did fill their souls
They sought a room to settle for the night

The innkeeper did all He could
To find for them a room
But a stable was the only place he had
Mary's child was born that night
In a manger filled with hay
Wrapped in rags the blessed Savior lay

Meek and mild
Mother and child
Filled all prophecy that night
Angels praised
Shepherds gazed
Below the star so bright

Shepherds watching flocks that night
Were summoned by the angels
Go and see the babe in Bethlehem
He us Savior Christ to all
Peace is what He brings
Glory be to God in the highest

As they knelt before Him
They realized their place
As all of history would mark this day
Simple lowly shepherds
Were called to be the ones
They were the first to bow to Him and pray

Not the rich
Not the mighty
Not the ones in power
He calls us in humility
To worship Him this hour

Meek and mild
Mother and child
Filled all prophecy that night
Angels praised
Shepherds gazed
Below the star so bright


Have You Seen the Star

Have you seen the star
Have you bowed in awe
Have you traveled far
From your sin

Have you given gold
All the world beholds
So that you can hold
Onto Him

Has the frankincense
Cleansed you from your sin
Are you born again
A priest for Him

Has the myrrh applied
From yourself to die
Giving up your life
All for Him

Have you seen the star
Has it changed your life
Come to Jesus now
And be saved


Extraordinary Day

It’s not ordinary at all
What happened that day
When heaven came down
In a manger to lay

Angels came singing
To shepherds alone
Kings came from far
As the brightest star shone

Mother and father
Had traveled so far
To find the inn full
Underneath that star

Bet both of them knew
That this special day
The Savior was born
To take sin away

Yet the kept quiet
About their sons fate
He didn’t come too soon
And He was not late

The time was just right
And today we see
That Jesus redeems
Both you and me

Let’s never forget
That extraordinary day
When heaven came down
And in a manger lay

He Came to Die

At Christmas time we celebrate
The Birthday of our Lord
Born this day in Bethlehem
A stable His abode

Shepherds came to greet Him
For an angel told them where
They bowed before the little child
While Mary looked on there

He grew and started preaching
Repent for God is nigh
He healed all that would come to Him
He taught them with no lies

His message made the rulers made
The planned to take His life
But He knew all about their plans
The prophets all were right

We celebrate His birth today
And rightfully we should
But more important is the fact
He came to die for you

His purpose from the very start
Was to give His life away
Please don’t forget the price He paid
On this Christmas day


Christmas Poetry

Christmas Cheer

It’s once again that time of year
When we ring out our Christmas cheer
We sing the songs of Jesus birth
Declaring Him through all the earth

Hark the Herald angels sing
Hear the bells oh hear them ring
O come oh come Emmanuel
A silent night for all to tell

Far away in manger lay
What child is this who sleeps in hay
Three great kings come from afar
Joy to the world beneath that star

We’ve heard angels from on high
Little town of Bethlehem sighs
Come all ye faithful raise your voice
Come let us adore our Lord

In all these songs we give Him praise
For He our sin has far erased
This Christmas time I hope you know
The reason for the seasons show

Let Christ be lifted high above
Tell all your friends of His great love
That He would leave His royal throne
To come to earth and die alone
Christmas Poetry

Amazing

Wouldn’t it have been amazing
To be there on that morn
When shepherds came to greet Him
The Savior that was born

Wouldn’t it have been amazing
To see the newborn babe
As wise men knelt before Him
Sleeping on the hay

Wonder of wonders
God’s only Son
Came down from heaven that day
We stand before Him
Lord of all time
We gratefully praise His name

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God has come down to save
King of all Kings
Lord of all Lords
Came to us as a babe

Isn’t it truly amazing
That God loved us all so much
He gave His own Son to redeem us
His blood reaches each one of us

Isn’t it truly amazing
That on this blessed Christmas day
We can sing of our precious redeemer
With hearts full of grateful praise

Wonder of wonders
God’s only Son
Came down from heaven that day
We stand before Him
Lord of all time
We gratefully praise His name

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
God has come down to save
King of all Kings
Lord of all Lords
Came to us as a babe

All Because of Christmas

I walk through the city and see the lights
Red, green and blue, they shine so bright
Each house is lit up in the night
All because of Christmas

Merchants are smiling as people pay
For merchandise they bought that day
They smile as people shop and play
All because of Christmas

Churches are bustling with holiday fare
Candies and cookies abundant are there
The choirs are singing their songs of cheer
All because of Christmas

Families will gather from miles away
Have not been together for many a day
They get along fine and then go their way
All because of Christmas

But Christmas is more than shopping and food
More than the lights or family viewed
Christmas is when a baby was born
A long, long time ago

He was born in a stable that Holy night
Above shone a star of incredible light
Angels announced His birth that day
A long, long time ago

He did not come a good life to live
He came to die and to pardon our sin
Now we are free from guilt and shame
And live forever with Him

This Christmas you can enjoy the lights
The food and the family and presents all right
But please don’t forget that babe long ago
Who gave His life just for you
