Every Day for Christ

I forgot to post my Christmas poem for 2011. Here it is:

Every Day for Christ

“Let’s keep Christ in Christmas”

Is often heard this time of year,

But let’s keep Christ in every day

In every hour of every day.

For if we truly believe that Jesus came

If it’s not just a story we tell,

Then our lives are changed

By His death on a cross.

Our hearts have been changed.

Our debts have been forgiven.

Christ Jesus has risen,

And for that we owe all.

We can live now in freedom,

No longer slaves to our sin.

Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus!

All praise is due to Christ!

So say “Merry Christmas”

And think of the manger,

But don’t stop there,

Think of the cross.

Think of the love.

Think of the gift.

Think of the empty grave.

And every day, keep it for Christ

And bring glory to His name.

May you have a very Merry Christmas and a new year

blessed with grace and peace in Christ Jesus our Lord.
