The world is white, the fire is warm.
The house is cozy, I am safe from harm.
My loved ones sleep, tucked in their beds.
Thoughts of them, forever in my head.
It is Christmas morning, I’m thankful to be here,
I’m blessed to have my family near.
But, there are so many, who feel alone,
even with family gathered in the home.
Loved ones who are gone, their absence still felt.
Single moms who make the best of the cards they’ve been dealt.
Soldiers who fight for us, far away.
Felons in prison, freedom the price that they pay.
But! Take heart dear friends, today a King was born for you.
Wrapped in rags, his glory hidden from view.
His beginnings so humble, he was poorer than poor
He experienced hunger, cold and more.
He went through this life, he suffered more than we.
He did this because he loves you and me.
He’s waiting now, his rightful place on the throne.
He will greet you with a hug, when you come home.
On Christmas day, when not all can rejoice,
He hears your pain, he knows your voice.
Sad, lonely or sick, He’s felt them all.
Give your misery to him, he will not fall.
He loves you today, as much as he loved you then,
to be born a pauper, feel the pain of all men.
His majesty now revealed, for all to see.
Someday our pain forgotten , with Him we will be.
