Another
Christmas Carol
The
world, it still goes crazy,
Chasing
false and foolish gods:
People
love themselves & trinkets,
And they
call God’s Bible odd.
All the
passions of this world,
Swiftly
lead us each astray,
Yet, the
Christmas hymns still tell us,
Every
care, on Christ, to lay.
God calls
all souls unto Him,
In
repentance, to return,
To His
only Savior, Jesus,
That, His
peace, we gain, not spurn.
The one
true Gift of Christmas
Eternal,
and unchanged,
God’s
Lamb has come to save us,
His pure
life, for our sin, exchanged.
In
Christ, one life, eternal,
Overcomes
our filthy sin:
When we
accept Him as Savior,
In us, He
dwells, within.
By His
grace, He will save us,
As He
promised each, of old,
In the
one great Christmas story,
That
refreshes each time it’s told.
The real
Christ of Christmas,
Born to
save all willing souls,
He,
alone, knows all our weakness,
Yet, His
salvation grows not cold.
He knew
the coming price,
For the
true Gift that He gave,
His blood,
for sinners, willing,
Salvation’s
Babe in manger hay.
Jesus
Christ, He came to save us,
Not
deceive us with false joy,
As some
red-clothed, bearded fantasy,
Deceiving
children with promised toys.
God
despises all our idols:
Claus
& reindeer, arcane arts:
For, by
lying to our children,
We blind
them to God’s true heart.
False
childhood foundations,
Christ-less
dreams all break God’s Law,
For God’s
pure love & judgment,
Prove
false, the modern Claus.
So, from
now on, be careful,
Let’s,
now, in truth, all say,
And share
God’s Christ of Christmas,
Not a
worldly Holiday!
For
Christ is the reason for Christmas,
And God’s
promises are clear,
That in
God’s love and purpose,
His Birth
& Sacrifice are dear.
Though
worldly “political correctness”
Still
treads Christ under their feet,
Show your
true love of Jesus,
And join
us all to greet,
with a
hearty, Merry Christmas!
Each one
whom we now meet.
