Years End

 
We have come to the end of another year
We wonder how many more there will be
Only our God up in Heaven has the answer
How long until the departed ones I shall see

He has told me He has this wonderful place
Where we will have and eternal worry free life
A place of serenity and of comfort we will find
Only peace shall we see and never know strife

He tells us in that great book, the Holy Bible
That He went to the cross and died for our sin
For the penalty of sin is death and so He died
So we could live in Heaven our soul He did win

If next year He should call my name to leave
An evil Earth and put a troubled world behind
I would fall on my knees and ask to be blessed
By a Savior who has always been to us so kind

It's Christmas Day

 
Many years have passed since that night
A blessed event happened in Bethlehem
A baby boy was born to the virgin Mary
Son of God we know He is the great I am

He came into this world to save our soul
Taking on our sins as if they were His own
He died a death for all sins we committed
He became a Savior we had never known

We do celebrate His birthday in December
December twenty fifth is the precious day
It is a day when our families gather around
To watch children open their gifts and play

Too many forget the reason for Christmas
It is the day we celebrate Jesus Christ's birth
For without the birth of this most Holy child
What would our life on this Earth be worth

His Birth

It was a clear night in Bethlehem
A bright star was shinning above
That night Jesus Christ was born
His birth filled the world with love

Three wise men came to the stable
Brought gifts to the newly born King
It was quiet in the stable that night
For the fear of who it would bring

Today we celebrate that great birth
With a day known as Christmas day
Where Christians revel at His name
Thinking of the manger where He lay

His birth has brought to us a new life
Where we can spend eternity with Him
Up in the land that we know as Heaven
Without His birth our life would be grim

Poor But Rich

I can still remember back in time when
We strung popcorn to put on our tree
Christmas was a toy and a bag of candy
Still it brought so much happiness to me

We were poor but Christmas brought joy
Being thankful for any small gift we got
We knew they didn't cost much money
Still we were made happy by the thought

God was with us those lean years long past
Mother would take us to church each week
Most everyone there was as poor as we were
Still it was the blessing of the Lord we did seek

Today as I look back to what we went through
I realize we weren't as poor as we had thought
God had blessed us with much love back then
It's an eternal home with Him must be sought

Call It Christmas

 
Born in that manger that Holy night
God sent to us His only begotten son
To take on our sins as if they were His
So our souls to Heaven could be won

We celebrate that birth of Jesus Christ
With a day that some may call a Holiday
But if we leave Christ out of Christmas
To us it will just become another day

He came to our Earth with this purpose
To save our souls from the fires of Hell
He loved all of the people in this world
If you study the Bible then you can tell

Call this day what it was meant to be
It is a celebration of the birth of Jesus
Who then died on an old rugged cross 
To save the souls of all people like us

Santa;s Night

Santa has packed his sled full
He is set for a long run tonight
He has put everything in order
Knowing he must pack it right

His reindeer are getting so frisky
A year without work is the reason
Tonight they must travel for miles
To spread joy this Christmas season

Landing on the rooftops is so tricky
Sliding down the chimneys is hard
Still he has to put gifts under the tree
He can't leave them out in the yard

Gifts he will bring to all the children
He picked them for each girl and boy
Some will get computers or TV games
But everyone must also get a nice toy

All through the night Santa will work
Making sure His deliveries are just right
He is so happy when he gets back home
Knowing everyone will enjoy this night

What Christmas Is About

With the hustle and bustle of the season
How many know what Christmas is about
Not buying gifts that are not what we want
But for the birth of Jesus Christ no doubt

While so many forget the birth of Jesus
Greed fills the coffers of the retail stores
Some won't wish you a Merry Christmas
Perhaps we should not enter their doors

Sometimes the bargains are tempting
It becomes easy to fall for their game
If we do  we should ask for forgiveness
We know Christmas has part of His name

How easily we forget the true meaning
Of what Christmas should mean to us
It is about the birth of our dear Savior
Born of Mary she had named him Jesus

My Prayer

Hold to my hand Lord, show me the way
Take me to that land where life is eternal
Help me dear Lord rid me of all of my sin
With satan Lord help me with that battle

Always be there beside me precious Lord
To be with you forever shall be my prayer
I will follow you and worship you always
For you are the master and I am the beggar

Wherever you are I want to be with you
Always to be there by your precious side
To love and to honor you in all your glory
Then I with you up in Heaven I can reside

You are so perfect and I am so worthless
I know some day you will make me whole
When we meet in that land of perfection
Where you will give me the perfect soul

Seasons

Bring back to me the memories of Spring
When youth was  good and I was so free
These were the very best years of my life
Little did I realize what was in store for me

Summer was the strongest time that I saw
Feeling everything I did had to be the best
No one could do things better than I could
Knowing my work could ever meet the test

Autumn was at a time when I slowed down
My energy level seemed to lack the drive
Of what I had back in those younger years
I began to wonder how long I would survive

Winter came so much earlier than I realized
Still I knew happiness that I had found Jesus
Knowing soon I would have this eternal life
In God's perfect kingdom He has built for us

Happiness With Jesus

Can you see the beauty I see in Jesus
Do you know the Grace He shall give
If you follow Him and ever love Him
An Eternal life with Him you will live

He loved me and gave up His life here
All of my sins He has washed far away
When I gave my soul to our dear Savior
On these bended knees I began to pray

In this sin filled world that we call Earth
Demons sent by the devil will attack you
Be ever aware of who these demons are
Avoid them and to Jesus you must be true

Happiness I have known since I met Jesus
He gives me the strength to carry through
Each day brings me closer to see my Lord
You know with Jesus you can be there too
