Twas the Night Before Christmas – Christian Version
By: Heather Wilson-Smith & Melanie Etheridge
Twas the night before Christmas & all through the house
Not a creature was praying – not one in the house
Thier Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
Becasue Mom and Dad were too busy to share.
The children were dressing to crawl into bed
Not once ever kneeling or bowing thier heads
Mom’s wrapping gifts to put under the tree
While Dad’s making sure there’s nothing wrong with the Wii.
When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter
Dad sprang to his feet to see what was the matter
Away down the hallway he flew like a flash
Looking for the culprit that caused such a crash.
He stopped in his tracks to take in the sight
Of angels declaring the real reason for this night
It was Jesus they said – not Santa or Elves;
You have made this celebration more about yourselves.
The shame Dad felt made him cover his head
Jesus was the real reason just like the angels said
And though Dad possessed worldly wisdom and wealth
He cried when he thought of it in spite of himself.
Now Peace! Now Joy! Now Goodness & Love!
On Mercy & Grace! Now look above!
For God sent His Son to die for your sin
The battle was waged – He fought and you win!
A free gift was given on that Blessed night
The gift of salvation – a gift you can’t buy.
Dad fell to his knees – consumed with regret
He hadn’t given Jesus His place of Honor yet
He stood and he cried as the angels rose out of sight
This Christmas would be different – starting tonight!
Christmas is a time to have fun, rejoice and enjoy the company of many friends and loved ones. It is also a time to reflect on the past year and how you dealt with you Heavenly Father. This is the most important thing to do down here on earth, aside from everything else. Also walk with your Heavenly Father and get into the bible and see what he left you to see. Have a very Happy Holy week and Mary Christmas.
Luke 2:11
for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
2 Corinthians 13:11 11 Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
Closing Prayer; Bless this night, oh Lord, we pray, Bless our families we love so dear, Bless our friends far and near Lord, give peace in every way. As Mary waited for the birth We wait in joyful expectation, For dawn to bring a declaration Lord, give new life to all the earth. This we pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
For those who wish to become a child of Our Heavenly Father or become stronger, please say the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
