Christmas Welcome Poem

The True Meaning Of Christmas

• Jesus Christ was born this day
  So many years before
  He came a servant to the lost,
  Though he was Lord of Lords
  
  We celebrate this joyous time,
  Reflecting on His birth
  Not born in a mansion, but a stable
  As if He had no worth
  
  He came so He could identify
  With the human heart of man
  And gave His life as a sacrifice,
  Offering a better plan
  
  A plan that reconciles us back
  To our loving Father God,
  Bringing hope and redemption from
  Sins ruling, iron rod
  
  For this is the only reason that we
  Should celebrate this day,
  To become focused on anything else,
  Would take the meaning away
  
  So let's arise with joy in our hearts
  And share it with everyone
  The meaning of Christmas will always be
  The birth of Jesus – God's son

  Christmas Welcome
  
• Under the wintry skies,
  Sundered from home and kin,
  With patience and love in her eyes,
  Mary is journeying.
  The angels keep watch and ward,
  And Joseph is there to guard,
  But – ‘there is no room at the inn.”
  
  No room in the inns of Life,
  No place for Christ the King,
  Through the Heavens with joy are rife,
  Where worshipping angels sing,
  In palace, and street and mart,
  In the worlds great pagan heart
  There is no welcoming.
  
  But in far cathedrals dim,
  Where Christmas lilies bloom
  ‘Mid incense and holy hymn,
  And tapers lighting the gloom,
  Where the Christmas crib is laid,
  And children come, unafraid
  His own are finding Him room.
  
  Here the humble ones of the earth,
  The poor, and the sorely tried
  Are waiting the dear Lord’s birth,
  And their arms are open wide,
  And Mary will find them grace
  Who makes for Her child a place
  In their hearts, this Christmas-tide.
