During this special time of year,
We hold our loved ones dear.
To give a gift is better than to receive.
In true spirit, we believe
The greater meaning of the season,
The central meaning and reason
Is Jesus’s birth
On this earth.
Like the babe wrapped up warm,
We can weather any storm
If all throughout the year
We keep the meaning clear–
Lights and tinsel on the tree,
Pretty though they may be,
Pale in comparison
To God’s only begotten son.
