Christmas That Never Ends
Day-after-Christmas contemplation...
The hustle and bustle of Christmas busyness,the rustle of wrapping paper,the frenzy of last minute food and gift prep,the shrieks of excitement and delightwill soon fade like fond footfalls of farewell,we collect in heart-vaults.
...but the Spirit of Christmas,because of God's everlasting goodness through the giftof his Son, Jesus, is hopefully a daily joy, all year through!
Christmas Season, with all its fuss and bustle will soon fadeAnd disappear into the hush of Bygone’s promenadeBut, Belief in the Reason for the season, anchors peaceHis everlasting goodness gladdens hope with joy’s increase
Belief transforms the lens we look through to find happinessIt mends the holes in our souls with precious promisesAnd grounds faith in the merit of love, unfathomableWhere Father, Son and Spirit manifests Immanuel
Where redemption endorses profound possibilityThe blood of Christ that cleanses and atones, sets sinners freeFrom the inherent curse; the first-fruit that first sin conceivedBut God so rich in mercy washed away when we believed
This keeps the joy of Christmas alive in us all year longHis everlasting goodness kindles everlasting songBecause belief in the Reason for the Season transcendsThe temporal; Jesus gives us Christmas that never ends
