Yes, Virginia, There Is A Savior

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Savior By Debra Marie Ferguson This season brings out all the carolers singing The plastic Kris Kringles, the reindeer bells jingling The pine scented snow in the aerosol cans The gift wrap, the ribbon, and Christmas tree stands But, does anyone ponder what all this is worth? When we've all but practically wiped out His birth? We're blinded by Santas and stockings and elves The garland, the tinsel, and toys on the shelves We're decking the halls, the walls and the trees Our kids write to Santa, and hope...he is pleased? Being good all year round because..

..Santa sees all? Making Saint Nick the Savior, and Jesus so small Let all who forget, now think on these things The price that He paid versus what Santa brings Jesus said, let the little ones come unto me But first thing Christmas morning, they run for the tree! If all the worlds Christians would just dare to start Telling children Saint Nick was a man with a heart Full of love for all people, and love for the Lord That's what made him admired and greatly adored! But after he died, well, we know all the rest They dug up his memory and changed his address Created an image that never would die One that made children behave and not cry One that had power to get them to bed With visions of Christmas rewards in their head They're told to remember that Santa keeps track! Incentives for Santa to bring a big sack! Whoever dreamed up all these things I've no doubt Took great pains to make sure that they left Jesus out! No, we can't blame a child for what they've been taught Though its something each parent should give special thought That Christmas would mean more than reindeer and gifts And the same goes for Easter Eggs, bunnies and Chicks If at Easter and Christmas, we told the true story Stopped breaking his heart and gave God all the glory The most wonderful present a parent can give? Is to share with their children that Jesus did live That He's not just a fable, a storybook lie He came to give life, and for that He would die The most precious of gifts, that a parent receives? Is the moment they're sure, that their child believes That three short days later he rose from the dead And He's coming again, because that's what He said! So let all the believers now gather to sing Happy Birthday to Jesus, the King of All Kings! And be freed from the bonds of traditional behavior And start telling Virginia, yes...
