Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the nation
The economy had soured
So there was no elation

Parents looked at the bills
Past due for so long
Children could tell
Something is seriously wrong

“Santa’s not coming”
We all told our small
“It’s nothing you did
Nothing at all”

As we looked into the sky
Full of worry and doubt
One star shined brighter
And seemed to stand out

A sense of serenity
Did seem to seep in
A sense of calmness
Did start to begin.

Its not about money
And presents galore!
Its more about giving
Salvation, and more!

The Christ child was born
On this day long ago
He came and he loved
For eternity we would know

For the commercializers out there
The profit margin’s their plight
But for those who love Jesus
This is a Great Night.
