What Is Christmas
I laid my head down, upon blanket of cotton weave.
Maybe soft like the one Jesus was wrapped, in a swaddling sleeve.
It was at last Christmas tomorrow, an this was the eve.
But in Santa I no longer now have reason to believe.
Oh what is Christmas to all now days
We still today give our Lord praise. (chorus)
The wise men were swirling in my thoughts tonight
Thoughts of Jesus once cradled in his mothers arms so tight.
The spirt of the night glistened in the candles twinkling light
I searched among my memories of better days with all my might.
Oh what is Christmas to all now days
Many not all still love our lord in so many many ways (chorus)
But all I could think of was the expense it brought to familes.
Credit cards extended to limits, depts, homeless with chilling extremeties.
I wonder what Jesus might say as this once was his birthday.
If he were here might he gather his deciples for yet to again pray.
Oh what is Christmas to all now days
Friends of families all come and go some astray (chorus)
Why does misfortune affect so many with extreme debt?
Depression claims have of this God fearing world from finance fret
I try to understand as I am an adult now you see
But this world it stll so much baffles me.
Oh what is Christmas to all now days
Bills and credit cards of all who get a pay (chorus)
If we were really celebrating his birth, are we if his worth,
To bemore appreciative of his fathers creations......one is earth.
God could have given us any thing at all
But he chose a gift more meaningfull, his own son to fall.
Oh what is Christmas to all now days
The joy of love and Christ's brotherhood some say (chorus)
He gives his love, his almight power.
He lifts us up in the final hour.
Oh what is Christmas to all now days
Candles lit for the as Christmas approaches day by day. (chorus)
