True Joy

The shepherds spread out on the hills, heard the angels sing,

In their amazement they received the news, of a baby king,

They traveled to the town of Bethlehem, and found Him in a bed of straw,

Before them lay a Savior, salvation's plan born without flaw,

This baby grew up to be a sacrifice, so all could be set free,

So Heaven could be our future, and praising God our eternity,

And now we distort the true meaning, in our celebrating Christmas day,

Forgetting the One who created, the straight and narrow Way,

Thinking more of the food we are eating, and all the gifts we give,

When we need to be sharing the reason for the day, in the way we live,

May all have a wonderful Christmas, every man, woman, girl, and boy,

Just remember it's Jesus' birthday, let Him fill your heart with true joy.
