Love and Grace


Love undeserved and yet unending
And grace, abundant grace,
Immanuel, He is with us,
The only hope for all mankind.
May we remember; may we not forget
He came to save us, to make us live.
May we remember; may we not forget
He came to bring us love.

Love undeserved and yet unending
And grace, abundant grace,
He poured out mercy; He showed us love.
He came to die in our place.
May we remember; may we not forget
He came to make things right.
May we remember; may we not forget
He came to pay our price.

Love undeserved and yet unending
And grace, abundant grace,
Oh, may we live to show His love,
To show His mercy and His grace.
May we remember; may we not forget
All the praise and glory due His name.
May we remember; may we not forget
Jesus Christ is His name.



Wishing you a wonderful Christmas full of
His undeserved, unending love and abundant grace.

I Won't Be Sad

I won't be sad
As I think of you this Christmas.
I won't be sad 
As I think of your short lives.
I'll look at lights
And think of Heaven's glory,
Streets of gold
Lit by the King of Kings.
I'll treasure time,
Time with your earthly family.
We'll open gifts,
And I'll think of grace,
Grace given me
Grace that took you home.
I'll look at them,
Your brother and your sister
The two who filled
The womb you left so early.
Oh I love
All six of my dear children.
I'll remember 
Why we celebrate this season.
I'll think of you
And picture you two on His knee,
Hearing Him tell
The story of His birth.
I'll wonder 
What details you've been told,
How much love
You feel as He expounds the story.
No I won't be sad,
We'll all celebrate our Savior,
Celebrate
Jesus Christ this Christmas.
