Reflections on the Christmas Season
(2010)
(2010)
Where have all the manger scenes gone?
Plenty of Santa, reindeer, and elves around
Plenty of Santa, reindeer, and elves around
Where are all the angels, shepherds, and wise men?
Not spending their money in stores, on the web, or raising credit lines
Not spending their money in stores, on the web, or raising credit lines
Have you heard the Holiday Singer’s praise of gifts, money, or all kinds of cheer?
I am waiting to hear, once more, a Silent Night, where there’s nothing to fear
I am waiting to hear, once more, a Silent Night, where there’s nothing to fear
Despite those who made Christmas start in October this year
The King will be remembered, in the end that is clear
The King will be remembered, in the end that is clear
Christmas hymns will be sung by carolers dear
The babe of Bethlehem, front and center, bringing joy to the ear
Joseph and Mary’s story will be told, in so few words; there are the shepherds!
The night when the inn was full, the night the sky stood still, the bright star shining on the hay
The night when the inn was full, the night the sky stood still, the bright star shining on the hay
The day that brought the birth of the Son, given to us, an eternal gift
The only gift we’ll ever need, a sacrifice from our Father above
The King of Kings, the bread of life, the living water, our Savior, our light
What gifts do we need, when we have been given the life of the Holy One?
The only gift we’ll ever need, a sacrifice from our Father above
The King of Kings, the bread of life, the living water, our Savior, our light
What gifts do we need, when we have been given the life of the Holy One?
Oh Holy Night, the stars are brightly shining, this is the day of our dear Savior’s birth.
