T’was the week before Christmas,
A busy one at that:
Multi-tasking, baking, wrapping~
a missing ingredient, O Drat!

No Bisquick for the sausage balls,
And pancake mix
didn’t quite make the call.

All the pretty decor, the fun and the cheer:
All these things quite jolly,
But what is that I hear?

A carol, A herald of a sweet babe in the hay.
“Away in a manager”, oh yes I hear it play.

As I stop and listen, letting the words sink deep within
My sweet Baby Jesus had no room in the Inn.

His birthday is just one week away.
Do you know Him personally?
Is your heart ready?
Have you asked Him to stay?

His peace never ending,
His love and His grace:
He is our sovereign King,
Give Him His rightful place.

Christmas is fun and full of cheer,
But it’s nothing without Jesus.
His second coming is near.

The first Christmas He came,
a sweet babe in the hay
His second-coming, in power
What a glorious day!

The best gift you can give Him
Is to fully surrender
Are you ready to experience
His love that’s so tender?

Please join me in worship
Let our hearts join and sing
We love you Lord Jesus
Our soon coming King.

As we make the last preparations for this most wonderful time of year, let’s be sure to remember the true meaning. It’s nothing without Jesus.

Blessing to you all!
