Happy Birthday to My Lord and Savior!

Every year when it is Christmas time
The air should be filled with joy,
But for many it is not about the birth of Christ
But who's going to get which toy.

Toys are good especially when shared
With those with no joy in this season,
They are out in the cold, living day by day
With no thought that Jesus is the reason.

Christmas is a time to let God's love
Flow through you and to spread God's Light,
To share God's love with those who are lost
Could be the ONLY light they see Christmas night.

Christmas is a time to be filled with joy
But for many it's a time of gloom,
Their first Christmas after you lose someone
Makes it hard for joy to fill the room.

Christmas is a time for families to get together
But for many they are torn apart,
The gap is so wide the members lose hope
Don't even know how healing is to start.


But after all of this it is easy to miss the boat
That it's all about that "special" birth,
When Jesus came into this crazy world
Showing God's love and our divine worth.

Happy birthday to my Lord and Savior
To the One who came to set us ALL free,
For without His birth in this world of sin
Where would any of us truly be?
