Christmas Spirit



A christmas spirit shared with one and all,
Not just winter but also summer, spring and fall.

Giving of ones self should be our daily goal,
Making giving a major part in lives role.

It is not just a matter of what we say, think or do,
It's what's carried in our spirit that shines through.

What is important is what's kept in our heart,
And, Christ grace and mercy play a major part.

Christmas grace, showing goodwill to every soul,
And mercy gives compassion not in part but whole.

A kind gesture to someone you only just met,
Sharing Jesus, how He died to pay our sin debt.

A passion will grow and bring you much joy,
Bitterness and hate it will continue to destroy.

Spreading Christmas spirit to everyone you meet,
All year round, graciously making passion ever so sweet.
