When Christmas Comes

by Betty Fraser

It does not come with jeweled gift

Or holly laden wreath.

It is not born of festive tree

Or silver tinseled leaf.

 



It does not stem from twinkling lights

Or garland on the stair;

Nor in the clamor of the crowd.

You will not find it there.





For only deep within the soul

Can Christmas truly start,

As Christ, the Child of Bethlehem,

Comes in to claim the heart...

 

Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift of Christ who comes in to claim our hearts!
