The season's upon us

The season’s upon us, we’re caught in the swell
Of rushing around that we know all too well.
 
The stores and the crowds, the traffic and noise,
The trees and the gifts, the clothes and the toys.
 
The cards and the greetings that everyone sends,
Reunions and parties with families and friends.
 
I trust that you join me and in your heart know
The true Christmas gift given so long ago.
 
The birth of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
The reason He lived and His life sacrificed.
 
I pray that this Spirit of Love lives in you,
The scriptures record it — I know that it’s true.
