I'll be right there
I'm coming...really...
Just give me a minute
I've got this one last batch of cookies...
Hey, I'm sorry
But I've got to run
The sale ends today
So if I hurry...
Do I what?
Of course I know what time of year it is.
Am I ready?
Well, if I'm not...I'll die trying...
How am I getting ready?
Well...
There's the cards, shopping, baking...
Parties, having people in
...I hope I can make it through the holidays.
(I'll sure be glad when they're over...)
As I take it from storage
The manger scene unfolds
Piece by piece...
The cows, the sheep...their shepherds...
Child, do you love me?
Lord, of course I love you!
Then feed My sheep...
My child, do you really love me?
Lord you know I love you!
Then feed My sheep...
Or are you too busy producing the wrappings of Christmas
Rather than drawing in My loving Spirit
That it might gently flow from you
...To others...
Wise men now stand adoringly about the crib.
Do you seek me out?
Search the Word--My gift to you
That My wisdom shall become yours?
And Joseph takes his place
Ever faithful, supportive, loyal.
Mary kneels by the simple cradle
Surely this mother had visions
Of another place of birth for her Child.
No bows or wrappings here
No Flashing lights
Just love...peace...and joy!
A few pieces of straw
Not much to offer this new born Babe
But then, Sweet Jesus You ask for little
Just My love...
Just ME...
This shelter I present to You is untidy
A crude beginning for a King...
And yet You come Baby Jesus
Making Your home in my heart...
...Again...anew...
I put Your figure in the manger now...
A place of simple honor
I welcome You sweet Child...
Dear Savior ...
Happy Birthday...My Jesus...
Welcome home.....Into my Christmas
...I love you...Amen
