And I think we can bet
That millions of people
Have gone into debt,
To buy special presents
Some big and some small
Some will be accepted
Some not at all
With excesses of food
Fridges, with beer
Other alcohol too.
Children, excited
Won’t go to bed late
They try to be good
And make everyone a mate
Nothing will change,
As they all grow –
Cos Christmas is about goodwill
As you know.
So if someone knocks over
Your drink in the bar
You brush it aside
Just for one day a year
Have you ever stopped and wondered
Why it’s not the same
As other celebrations
You could care to name?
Is it really about
A fat man in red coat,
Lights, decorations
And carnival floats?
Is it about getting yourself
Into debt,
Getting uptight
And starting to fret?
Have I bought this
And have I bought that?
I mustn’t forget
My dear pet cat?
Than you could ever expect;
A man came to pay for
Your life full of debt.
He came to this earth
To live a life we could not,
He paid for our sins
When He went to the cross
He was born in a stable
A manger for a crib
He taught many people
How to love and forgive.
He even loves those
Who mock Him and tease
And try to destroy Him
By the lives that they lead!
For 2,000 years man has
Tried to destroy
Every man, every woman
Every girl, every boy
Who truly believes
That He is the One
Who is their Redeemer
And God’s only Son!
But for 2,000 years
The church still goes on,
No liberal, no commie
Can destroy God’s Son.
So whether you believe
He came to save YOU!
Have a merry CHRISTmas
And happy New Year too!
