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
