Christmastime Will Soon Be Here

Born in a manger
The little child laid
Animals watching
By his side they stayed

Wisemen visited
The shepherds heard
The angel choir
As they spread the word

For unto us
This child just born
Will become a Savior
Let's sound the horn

How wonderful
Mary must have felt
This glory and honor
Upon her dealt

But far too soon
Joy turns to tears
For she lost her son
A mother's worst fear

I'm sure her thoughts
Went back to the day
When in that manger
Her child did lay

As we give to each other
The gifts we share
Lets remember that Christmas
Is because God cares

He sent his son
To us that day
To provide forgiveness
To a world astray
