The Night Before Christmas 2

 

'Twas the night before Christmas 2

And all creation was stirring…..especially the mice

The believing ones had cast all their care

In hopes that Christ would soon be there

All God's children were nestled all snug in His grace

As visions and dreams they inwardly embraced

Then all of a sudden they heard a great sound

The sound of a trump and then light all around

A bright flash of light on the earth did rest

It came from the east and shined to the west

And they knew in that moment, in that very twinkling

That Christ the Lord had come for them

Then as dry leaves before a wild hurricane fly

They began to rise up....mount to the sky

They had believed and were flying to heaven

While the ones that didn’t were still busy asking

Where is the promise of his coming?

For all things continue as from the beginning

In those days, all the world was to be taxed
And the tyrant also wanted to stop Christmas

And the world had gone after him in that

For they listened intently when he demanded

 That they not speak in that Name Christ

But now their hearts were fearful as

They saw terrible things happen

But the wise men hadn’t listened

For on earth they did call on that Name

And  then were called sons and daughters

Their spirits rejoiced in God their Savior

And they presented to Him gifts

Gifts they had been given

Freely they had received

Freely they had given

They had followed the light

To the lowly babe

To the bundle of God's love

The love that led them to others

To the hungry, to the thirsty

To the weary and the worn

The first Christmas, there was no room for Him in the inn.

The second Christmas some had prepared Him room

Room in their hearts
