So you want to hear
A poem about Christmas
Do you want me to list
The most popular meaning
Like starry eyed children dreaming
About reindeer flying across the sky
With a fat Santa driving them by
About over shopping
Big dollars dropping
In crowded stores
Decorated windows and lighted front doors
Jingle bells ringing
And choirs singing
The gifts hidden in pretty paper
wrapped nice and neat
It is all so fun and sweet
The excitement tingles to the feet
but, I will not speak of that today
But I will speak the truth of it, the way and the life of
Christmas
Christmas
Christ must
Christ-must-come
Christ has come
Jesus Christ, the Messiahbr>
Gods only begotten
Born of a virgin
The anointed one
Of whom angels sang
And to Sheppard’s told
Joy to the world the lord is come
Star struck men of wisdom ran
To behold and bless
The one who was lion bold
With lamb like gentleness
Let the story be told
He shall save his people from their sin
The Star shone bright
That holy night
And men of wisdom
Who sought to envision
The gift of the kingdom
Walked in rhythm of
Fa-rapa-pum-pum
saying
Where is he, the one, the only son
Bringing their gifts of
Frankincense, myrrh, and gold
Oh come let us adore him
Let the story be told
He shall save his people from their sin
into those baby eyes
Mary looked in
And saw love deeper and wider than seven seas
she saw eternity, purity and integrity
He came to remove all enmity
More powerful than gravity
He brought heaven down to our earthly territory
Conquering death, hell and the grave
He made the devil behave
And fearful hearts brave
By his name we are saved
By his name we are saved
I don’t believe in Santa any more
I no longer wait for him to come
Through that chimney core
Were he real He would fit much better through the front door
But I look for the return of
The greatest, king of kings
Of whom angels still sing
For whom church bells ring
Wise men are still running
With eagerness
To seek and bless
The one who is Judah’s lion bold
and the sacrificial lamb of meekness
Let the truth be told
He has saved his people from their sin
All you have to do is let him in
Wise man, wise woman, seek him
His light shines bright still
All he wants is your heart and your will
And he will save you from your sin
All of the gifts you will receive
On or after Christmas Eve
will in time start fading
Embrace the eternal gift that never stops giving
New life that never stops living
but is renewed day by day
all you have to do is pray
to know joy unspeakable
a life change unbelievable
and to experience a true merry
merry, merry Christmas
Christ must come into your heart today
A precious gift to be hidden in vessels of clay
Merry Christmas
Christmas
Christ must
Christ must come
Christ has come
Jesus Christ the messiah
God’s only begotten son
