This Is Christmas

Can you see the snow fall                         

Alabaster in it's decent
There’s only One whiter
Jesus  our Lord, in His intent

 Can you hear the bells ringing

Christmas is in  the sound
Come and give of your wealth
While peace on earth is found

 Join  in giving out of love

Lead us to keep the belief
Making every day Christmas
Take us back to the thief

 Needing  and knowing

Jesus hanging on the wood
Hung  there for such as He
This ! is Christmas , he understood

 Let  the bells of Grace ring

Taking the Spirit of the cross
Flooding the holiday season
Making Christmas love, not gloss
