Twas Five Days Till Christmas...

TWAS FIVE DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS, WHEN I SAT AT THE TABLE
I STARTED TO PONDER THE MANGER AND STABLE

MY SAVIOR HE CAME TO THE EARTH AS A BABE
HUMBLE AND LOWLY IN THE MANGER HE LAID

THE ANGELS CAME DOWN SAYING "GLORY ON HIGH"
REJOICING AND PRAISING TILL MORNING WAS NIGH

THEY ANNOUNCED TO THE SHEPHERDS, "HE IS BORN, HERE'S A SIGN
A BABE WRAPPED IN CLOTHES, IN A MANGER YOU'LL FIND"

THE WISE MEN TOO NOTICED, IT CAUSED QUIT A STIR
IT TOOK THEM TWO YEARS, BRINGIN' GOLD, FRANKINCENSE, AND MYRRH

THEN HEROD TOOK NOTE, "KILL THE BOYS", HE WOULD POUT
BUT GOD SPOKE TO JOSEPH, HE SAID "TAKE THEM OUT"

SO MARY AND JOSEPH AND JESUS THEY WENT
WHERE AS A CARPENTER IN NAZARETH HIS DAYS THEY WERE SPENT

AT HIS FATHERS FEET HE SAT AS HE LEARNED
"TO DO ONLY MY FATHERS WILL", JESUS YEARNED

HE HEALED MANY SOULS, TOUCHED THE LEPERS AND BLIND
NOT ANOTHER MAN, OR PROPHET OR SAVIOR THEY'D FIND

MY SAVIOR HE DIED FOR MY SINS ON THE CROSS
DID GODS WILL FOR HIS CHILDREN THAT NONE WOULD BE LOST

IN THREE DAYS HE ROSE FROM THE TOMB, CONQUERED DEATH
HE GAVE US NEW LIFE, GAVE US HIS BREATH

ONCE SCARLET MY HEART HAS BEEN MADE WHITE AS SNOW,
IT'S THE REASON I CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS YOU KNOW

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIS GIFT OF NEW LIFE?
CHOSEN TO OPEN IT OR CHOSEN MORE STRIFE?

ASK HIM TODAY FOR THE CHANCE MAY SOON PART
JESUS IS HERE FOR YOUR GIFT, WILL YOU GIVE HIM YOUR HEART?


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
