BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY...

The Christmas season is festive and bright,
Yet for some of us, there's no hope in sight.
Among the parties, gifts, and jingle bells,
There is a message that Christmas Day tells.

It was LOVE born on Christmas Day.
Love so divine only He could portray
Dying for us on the old rugged cross,
That everything else is counted as loss.

It was MERCY born on Christmas Day.
Mercy to meet my needs in every way.
To hold us and sustain us in this life.
Protecting us from decisions causing strife.

It wasn't Santa born on Christmas Day,
The seasonal man with a magical sleigh,
Whose gifts are based on "bad" and "good"
And love only if you act as you should.

It was GRACE born on Christmas Day.
Grace sufficient every step of the way
Giving us blessings we don't deserve
Nudging us to You, the One we serve.

It was HOPE born on Christmas Day.
Hope not found in the futile words we say.
That there's more to life than just living.
Like serving, loving, being, and giving.

It wasn't Santa born on Christmas Day.
The seasonal man with a magical sleigh.
Whose lightfooted reindeer define his grace,
As we age each year, hope loses importance.

Without the miracle of Christmas Day,
There would be no reason to celebrate.
When Jesus came to earth as a baby,
It wasn't based on a bet or just a "maybe".

He was a gift promised for many years.
A gift so treasured it brings us to tears.
The message that Christmas longs to tell you,
Is that a baby was born to make you NEW!

He came with gifts especially for you.
Grace, mercy, peace, love and hope are a few.
Remember when you're down and you dismay,
IT WAS JESUS BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY!!!
