Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the church
Every creature was stirring, they were sitting on Birch
The programs were ready, everything was prepared
In hopes that the people soon would be there
The decorations were piled all over the place
From trees and garland, to pine cones and lace
The pastor all dressed up, the youth guy in jeans
Had started discussing what Christmas means
The gifts and the baskets, the ribbons and bows
And all of the children all covered in snow
Too often the problem we face every year
Is no one remembers any more than good cheer
For Christmas is not just a time to be getting
There’s something that schools are indeed forgetting
The birth of a saviour, in a manger with hay
Is really the reason to celebrate this day
While Santa and reindeer may seem to be right,
Who wants to celebrate a fat man in tights?
So in your efforts, remember this season
That Jesus my friends, is truly the reason
He did not come just for the winter
But also to die on two giant splinters
There not to stay, he just went to call
And bring back with him Salvation for all
The meeting was over and to their delight
The people were gathered, for Christmas that night
