Stars Flicker in a Winter Sky - track 03

A Poor Christmas

The Christmas bells are ringing …... In halls and churches Christmas hymns their singing
In the supermarket Paul and Jenny wonder what to spend
How much more will the man on the corner lend … For the kids what can Santa send
In the streets Christmas lights shine …. Merry Christmas on the shop signs
And Jenny and Paul in the bright shopping mall ….know they can’t afford ……. All

 All the things the kids want………. It will be a poor quiet Christmas this year
Can’t afford the seasons cheer ………… No cash to buy the wine and beer
 It will be a poor quiet Christmas this year

On a corner sits an old church ……… and a prayer in passing really can’t hurt much
In the peaceful reverent hush … far from the mad shopping rush
A gentle voice answered their prayer ………… though no one else was there
Gold, frankincense and myrrh….. …..were the gifts they gave
Yet those precious things couldn’t save …. The gift of love …….. I gave
All the love I gave
 
Love is my gift for your Christmas this year
This love is your gift for Christmas this year
On Christmas day there wasn’t much … Just a family sharing peace and love
Above all things is love ………….. Above all these is love
You can share His love at Christmas this year
This love is my gift for your Christmas this year
 Share love at Christmas this year … Share His love at your Christmas this year
