NO
CHRISTMAS IN
OUR TOWN
I looked
forward to
Christmas, the
day of
Christ's
birth,
When love
became flesh,
as Gods' gift
to this earth.
I longed to
hear carols
that children
would sing,
And to see
re-enacted the
birth of a
King.
But at school
songs of Santa
were what they
preferred,
And not even
one carol was
allowed to be
heard.
The shops in
the mall had
their busiest
days,
But no
"Merry
Christmas"
signs filled
their
displays.
Though I saw
lots of
candles, and
smelled some
incense,
When I said
"Merry
Christmas"
it was called
an offense.
The A.C.L.U.
is determined
to take
The
"Christ"
out of
"Christmas"
- it is now
"Winter
Break."
No manger
scenes
decorate any
town square.
But Santas and
reindeer are
found
everywhere.
How I long to
go back to the
old fashioned
days,
When the Jesus
of Christmas
was given our
praise.
But God still
has a remnant
who worship
His Name,
And His love
for all men is
forever the
same.
We need to
share Jesus
and what we
believe,
So a lost,
dying world
can salvation
receive.
