Silent Night I am refusing to be silent About that silent night! I’ll be voicing my opinion Until they get the story right! It is called the CHRISTmas story Yet they’re Xing the Christ out! I refuse to call it Xmas… X is not what it’s about! Because once upon a time there was… No ifs…no buts…no maybe… Born in the town of Bethlehem A very special baby. God was wrapped in human flesh… Incubated by a Virgin. Whose conception was created by A Heavenly and earthly merging! Begotten of the Holy Ghost… An immaculate conception! This was no ordinary birth… Yet it has only known rejection. Rejected by the ancient world… He is still objected to today. They’re protesting Merry CHRISTmas In lieu of Happy Holiday! Well, upon those dark and dreamless streets Shone an everlasting Light! And as long as there is breath in me I’ll speak of that Silent Night! Doris Jacobs-Covington Christmas 2012 Revisited Christmas 2014 ~~Dedicated to Sandy~~ John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. ~~Author’s Note~~ The truth is that without Christ’s nativity there would be no Christmas. No Christmas gifts to celebrate the gifts presented to the Christ-child. No Christmas lights to celebrate God’s light casting out the darkness. No evergreen tree to represent everlasting life. No St. Nicholas whose Christian life gave rise to the legend of Santa Claus. No classic Christmas novel like “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. Just think of all that would be missing if we fail to greet one another with a “Merry Christmas.” Jesus is the REASON for the season, and because of that, I wish you a very Merry Christmas. |
