Do you believe in Santa?
It’s a yes
or no answer
Have you
never seen him?
He is there
none the less
He is in
the smiling faces
Or people
that you meet
And in the
children’s laughter
As they
rush along the street
He is in
the hearty handshakes
And the
heart felt hellos
He is at
the happy reunions
And the
tearful farewells
He is in
the choirs voices
Singing
praise to the lord
And in the
hearts of volunteers
Who feed
the homeless
He is the
presence of good
He is the
Christmas spirit
Now once more
The year
has turned
The advent
candle
Long since
burned
Hearts
darken
As we count
the cost
And the
season’s spirit
Is all now
lost
But it need
not
All be dark
and gloom
Light can
again
Illuminate
the room
So here is
a philosophy
For all of
us
God is for
life
Not just
for Christmas
Oh prince of peace
Humbly lain
on hay
Born to the
world
On this
special day
Shepherds,
beasts
And kings
of earth
Pay homage
At the
saviours birth
While the
Christ child
With
angelic face
Sleeps a
kingly sleep
In this
humble place
Saviour, at your birth
The angels softly sang
Heralding
your arrival
To save the
fate of man
Now your
birthday is near
We hear the
church bells rang
Calling
your children hither
To sing the
thanks of man
It sparkles there for all to see
Threaded
round the Christmas tree
Silver
tinsel shinning bright
Silver
strands of Christian light
It shines
and sparkles as a symbol
Of the love
Christ has for us all
A strand of
love, looped and curled
Threaded
all around the world
And when
you look at a Christmas tree
Silver
strands of love you’ll see
Pulled with violence
To break
the silence
Choring,
drawing
Mechanism
priming
Ready for chiming
Banging,
clanging
Momentum
gaining
Timbers
straining
Creaking,
speaking
Mechanical
timing
With rhythm
climbing
Swaying,
obeying
The peel
resounding
A sound
astounding
Ringing,
singing
The call
goes out
Around and
about
Voicing, rejoicing
Come says
the calling
Come one
and all in
Morning,
morning
Christ born
this day
The
Christmas bells say
Rejoicing,
rejoicing
Three kings from the east
Melchior,
Caspar and Balthazar
Enlightened
kings of wisdom
On their
great quest travelled far
Three wise
men from the east
Who
followed a bright star
Three kings
bearing gifts
Gold, frankincense,
and myrrh
Three kings
from the east
Melchior,
Caspar and Balthazar
Three kings
of great wealth
Bowed low before the saviour
