Celebrations
We celebrate our Saviour's birth
with every joy that's found on earth.
Laden hearts burst forth with cheer
when Christmas comes around each year.
We light up our existence here
with displays that we all hold dear.
We decorate and sing with joy
to honor that special infant boy.
We shop at every outlet mall
to buy a gift for one and all.
For little ones we have Santa Claus;
parties are held, we deck the halls.
We honor God for the gift of Son
by sharing gifts with everyone.
We open our bibles and read the story.
We go to church to share the glory.
As joyous as our celebrations are...
so much more glorious in Heaven afar;
With choirs of angels and heavenly hosts;
with God, the Son, the Holy Ghost.
The beauty of Heaven beyond compare;
the most perfect music anywhere.
Voices lifted in worship and praise;
knowing peace and love will fill the days.
With all our loved ones near and dear
we'll have fellowship and happy tears.
To think we'll celebrate like this someday
gives us every reason to pray today.
