The Spirit Of Christmas ~
You say you can’t get find
“The Spirit of Christmas”...What IS
“The Spirit of Christmas”?
Is it lights and the tinsel, the tree and the
snow,
the shopping for presents for all that we know?
The songs and the singing that bring us all
cheer,
the sending of greetings, the end of a year?
Is it wrapping and baking, hanging stockings
with care,
Is it Santa Claus coming with all his reindeer?
It is all of those things, but only in part,
it’s the love of our Savior that grows in our
heart.
It’s the sorrow we feel when a small child is
crying,
it’s the love that we share without even trying.
It’s the light in our heart that captures our
soul,
it’s the caring and sharing that helps us feel
whole.
So look to the Heavens when your spirit feels
weak,
kneel softly in prayer and soon you will see,
You’ve been carrying Christmas for all of this
time,
‘cause Christmas, dear friend,
IS YOUR LOVE OF MANKIND
