    T'was the night before Christmas
         and all through the town
         Not a sign of Baby Jesus
        was anywhere to be found.

         The people were all busy
         with Christmas time chores
         Like decorating, and baking,
         and shopping in stores.

         No one sang "Away in a manger,
         no crib for a bed".
         Instead, they sang of Santa
         dressed-up in bright red.

         Mama watched Martha Stewart,
         Papa drank beer from a tap.
         As hour upon hour
         the presents they'd wrap

         When what from the T.V.
         did they suddenly hear?
         'Cept an ad.. which told
         of a big sale at Sears.

         So away to the mall
         they all flew like a flash...
         Buying things on credit...
         and others with cash!

         And, as they made their way home
         From their trip to the mall,
         Did they think about Jesus?
         Oh, no... not at all.

         Their lives were so busy
         with their Christmas time things
         No time to remember
         Christ Jesus, the King.

         There were presents to wrap
         and cookies to bake.
         How could they stop and remember
         who died for their sake?

         To pray to the Savior...
         they had no time to stop.
         Because they needed more time
         to "Shop til they dropped!"

         On Wal-mart! On K-mart!
         On Target! On Penney's!
         On Hallmark! On Zales!
         A quick lunch at Denny's

         From the big stores downtown
         to the stores at the mall
         They would dash away, dash away,
         and visit them all!

         And up on the roof,
         there arose such a clatter
         As grandpa hung icicle lights
         up on his brand new step ladder.

         He hung lights that would flash.
         He hung lights that would twirl.
         Yet, he never once prayed to Jesus...
         Light of the World.

         Christ's eyes... how they twinkle!
         Christ's Spirit... how merry!
         Christ's love... how enormous!
         All our burdens... He'll carry!

         So instead of being busy,
         overworked, and uptight
         Let's put Christ back in
         Christmas and enjoy
       some good nights!

         Merry Christmas, my friends!




'Twas the night Jesus came
   and all through the house,
   not a person was praying,
   not one in the house..
  
   The Bible was left
   on the shelf without care,
   for no one thought
   Jesus would come there..
  
   The children were dressing
   to crawl into bed,
   not once ever kneeling
   or bowing their head..
  
   And Mom in the rocking chair
  with babe on her lap,
   was watching the Late Show
   as I took a nap..
  
   When out of the east
   there rose such a clatter,
   I sprang to my feet
   to see what was the  matter..
  
   Away to the window
   I flew like a flash,
   tore open the shutters
   and lifted the sash..
  
   When what to my wondering
   eyes should appear,
   but Angels proclaiming
   that Jesus was here..
  
   The light of His face
   made me cover my  head...
   was Jesus returning
   just like He'd said..
  
   And though I possessed
   worldly wisdom and wealth,
   I cried when I saw Him
   in spite of myself..
  
   In the Book of Life
   which he held in his hand,
   was written the name
   of every saved man..
  
   He spoke not a word
   as he searched for my name,
   When He said, "it's not here"
   My head hung in shame..
  
   The people whose names
   had been written with love,
   He gathered to take
   to his Father above..
  
   With those who were ready
   He rose without sound,
   while all of the others
   were left standing around...
  
   I fell to my knees
   but it was too late,
   I'd waited too long
   and thus sealed my fate.
  
   I stood and I cried
   as they rose out of sight,
   Oh, if  only I'd known
   that this was the night....
  
   In the words of this poem
   the meaning is clear
   the coming of Jesus
   is now drawing near...
  
   There's only one life
   and when comes the last call,
   We'll find out that the Bible
   was true after all...
