In Christ Who Was Born At Christmas
All Men May Live Again
Let us all remember
When our faith is running low,
Christ is more than just a figure
Wrapped in an ethereal glow–
For He came and dwelt among us
And he knows our every need
And He loves and understands us
And forgives each sinful deed–
He was crucified and buried
And rose again in glory
And His promise of salvation
Makes the wondrous Christmas Story
An abiding reassurance
That the little Christ Child’s birth
Was the beautiful beginning
of God’s Plan for PEACE on EARTH.

MOTHER is a word called LOVE
And all the world is mindful of
The love that’s given and shown to others
Is different from THE LOVE OF MOTHERS…
For Mothers play the leading roles
In giving birth to little souls,
For though ‘small souls’ are heaven-sent
And we realize they’re only lent,
It takes a Mother’s loving hands
And her gentle heart that understands
To mold and shape this little life
And shelter it through storm and strife…
No other love than MOTHER LOVE
Could do the things required of
The one whom God gives the keeping
Of His wee lambs, awake or sleeping,
So Mothers are a ‘special race’
God sent to earth to take His place,
And MOTHER is a lovely name
That even SAINTS are proud to claim.
