What would Christmas be like...?

What would Christmas be like, without our beloved Jesus?:
Would it have any sort of meaning; or even be able to inspire us?
We'd be running around and shopping, and buying our gifts galore..
Just like any other shopping day: we'd be supporting our local store...

What would Christmas be like,,if we were only wanting to receive?
We'd be like the Scrooge from Dickens with no faith or will to believe
That there's blessings inside the givingness and love inside us all
Just waiting to be someone's happiness in the big gifts or the small..

What would Christmas be like, if we weren't really willing to care?
We'd be going through all of the motions but be empty and unaware
That the truest meaning of Christmas, comes from the most loving heart
Who takes the time to insure that each person has a part.....

What would Christmas be like if it never even happened before
What would be have to look forward to, and Who'd open Heaven's door
Would there be any hope for salvation or any hope for anyone at all
It's wonderful to celebrate the Holiday but don't forget the Babe so small

Oh Christmas tree, all lit up...

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight

Indeed without that first Birthday so many years ago
We wouldn't be celebrating..did you know did you know..
That a baby in a manger without the warmth of a bed
Is the One who gives meaning to these songs in our head?

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight

While rushing to our parties and unwrapping gifts galore
Let us remember that first Christmas: what all of this is for
It is not so much the getting of gifts from mall or store
But the giving to all around us: a sign of love and more...

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight'

When Christmas comes this season when it comes to us once more
Will you make it a little different then any other year before
Will you take some time to ponder to hear that angels voice
Who tells us God is among us and it has always been His Choice

Oh Christmas tree all lit up oh Christmas tree  aglow
Did you know  you're a shadow: did you know did you know
For behind all  your sparkling and behind all  your light
Is the One who  gives reason to all of this delight

Angelic whispers

Breezes resting on my face
Leaving imprints of His grace
Secret messengers carrying love
Heavenly echoes from above..

Like the Spirit bright and fair
Wind streams sailing everywhere
Moving people plants and all
Inviting all to hear God's call

Listen deeply while you're still
To the whispers of God's will
In the plants the birds the trees
God is speaking like the breeze..

Touch him with the touch of grace
Love Him like the angels place
See Him in the all  you see
Know Him as the One you need..

Stepping stones

Outside my window pane
Tiny droplets of quiet rain
Are dancing, yes dancing

They never speak a word
Yet their every moment is heard
They're dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity...

Hush now see how that sun
Emerges bright for everyone
It's dancing, yes dancing

That early morning star
Appearing close but yet so far
Is dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity..

Look that tiniest little mite
Barely visible to our sight
Is dancing, yes dancing

It has such tiny limbs and feet
Yet they all keep the truest beat
It's dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity

You, there, go join that world outside
Tap into its beauty... do not hide
It's dancing, yes dancing

In everything that there is around
In all the created that are found
God is dancing, yes dancing

And all the world will finally see
When  that final hour comes to be
How each created entity
Was a stepping stone to Divinity

Free at last...

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset: to be free at last
It is okay to be loving and kind,
Despite the struggles attacking your mind...

For we are all human with  weaknesses in bold
Sometimes we're considerate at other times mold
Sometimes we are willing; other times we are  not..
It's time to build bridges and untie every knot

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset to be free at last
It is okay to loving and kind
Despite all the struggles attacking your mind

There are plenty of things we think were not right
But holding them up: they all pale in God's light
There were, indeed,  heartaches, laughter and tears
These made up our history and circled our years

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset to be free at last
It is okay to loving and kind
Despite all the struggles attacking your mind

We all know emotions are sensitive and feelings are too
But when all is said and done:  we know what is true
God is not wanting us to nurture or employ
Feelings that smother or emotions that destroy

It is okay to forgive all the past
To let go of the upset to be free at last
It is okay to loving and kind
Despite all the struggles attacking your mind 

This tragedy tonight..

(bullying can hurt)

Didn't you know that your words could all sting
That they could bring laughter or some brokenness bring
Didn't you know that those tears in their eyes
Were not so much from pain; but  the element of surprise?

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far:
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar..
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight..

You joked in your cruelty about that other one's name
Pointed your finger and showered them with blame
You ridiculed those people who weren't similar to you
And laughed as others struggled to do what they do

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight.

You in your grouplets that all gather and gaulk
Seem to find your happiness in your mischievous talk
You will paint out a picture for the one you will judge
And then leave them to struggle:  unable to budge..

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight.

If you were that person  you were bullying around
If you were the needy one without help to be found
Wouldn't you be hoping that someone would care
Yes but you keep hurting with your ominous air...

I tried to forewarn you, that you were going too far
That those words you were saying, would end up as a scar
I tried to point out, that those things were not right
And now we are seeing it: this tragedy tonight.
