THIS  CHRISTMAS

This Christmas Lysandra is where the clear waters flow
We are left here on earth surrounded by glistening snow
While Lysandra is gathered around the throne singing "Holy. Holy, Holy”
I watch as people on earth gather in town squares to sing "O Christmas Tree”
And I wonder…”Do they realize what they are missing?”
Sometimes it is hard to be the one left behind
Waiting…for our season…for the Lord’s perfect time
Did those on the earth many years ago, grow weary of waiting,
Of watching for a sign?
That majestic star in the east, with it‘s prophetic, radiant shine
Strange are the thoughts that can pass through the human mind
For Lysandra this Christmas is not simply a story of long ago
It’s real and vibrant as she sits illuminated in Christ’s radiant glow
The true meaning of Christmas…..where did it go?
Lost in theology, traditions or…..who knows
Covered in snow drifts or pushed aside by Santa’s Ho! Ho!
To promote the idea “It’s okay to believe in whatever you believe”
In tinsel, Santa, reindeers and trees
“If it’s okay with you, it’s okay with me”
Is a travesty that robs people of the truth they desperately need
It distorts the truth that can set them free…give them hope and offers real peace
There is a Savior, who came to earth
Born in a manger…and of human birth
He didn’t come just for the season
He had a plan, a purpose and a reason
He came to earth as God’s only begotten Son.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His
Only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
Should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16
Christmas is for those in need of a Savior
Rejoice!!!…  For true to His promise…
God gave us one… ….. HIS  SON.
