As a child the days seem never ending,
as Christmas day draws near.
Waiting with the lights turned low
being certain you saw a rain deer.
Christmas morning, presents wrapped
time spent playing with new toys.
Feelings of anticipation ended.
This was Christmas joy.
Was it worth the waiting?
Hours of counting down.
Hoping and praying that on Christmas,
Santa would come to your town.
Others faced a different fate
on that first Christmas morn.
To lose their lives or remain true (1)
that a savior would be born.
Fear could not be present
for faith would need to overthrow,(2)
within the hearts of the believerswho did not deny what they know.
5 long years would pass in time
Amidst wars, threats, and confusion.
At last a day with no night, our Saviors birth!
And a new star in the sky was the conclusion. (3)
2 men waited upon at this Christmas time of year.
One brings gifts, but only if your nice.
The other, everlasting life.
What is worth waiting for on that Christmas eve night?
I hope you all a Merry Christmas. May the spirit of hope and peace that comes with the birth of our Savior to this earth be within yours and your families hearts this year.
Merry Christmas!
