Christmas Song

She was his girl, he was her boyfriend
Shed be his wife, and make him her husband.
A surprise on the way any day any day
One healthy little giggling, dribbling baby boy
The wisemen came, three made their way
To shower him with love while he lay in the hay
Shower him with love, love, love
Love,love,love
Love,love was all around.
Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother mary worried always out on his own
He met another mary, who for a reasonable fee,
Less than reputable was known to be
His heart was full of love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around.
When Jesus Christ nailed to his tree
Said oh daddy-o, I can see how it all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkening sea
Instead I fear Ive spilled the blood of my children all around
The blood of my children all around
The blood of my childrens all around.
So Im told, so the story goes
The people he knew were less than golden-hearted
Gamblers and robbers,
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Like you and me, like you and me
Rumors insisted that he soon would be
For his deviations taken into custody
By the authorities, less informed than he
Drinkers and jokers, all soul searchers
Searching for love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love was all around.
Preparations were made for a celebration day
He said eat this bread but think of it as me
Drink this wine and dream it will be the blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
The blood of our children all around
Father up above
Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love is all around
Father up above
Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love, fill me love, love, yeah
Love, love, love
Love, love, and the blood of our children all around.

This song was written by Dave Matthews Band and Tim Reynolds. It spoke to me what I had been thinking of for a few days. Everyone is so cheery around Christmas. People hold doors a few seconds longer for a large crowd of people. Extra errands are ran without a problem. Nice things are said around this time of year. But, unfortunately, most of that dissipates after the season.

I think it could be different. I think I could donate gifts all year round, not just Christmas. I think I can be just as cheery as if it were Christmas all year round. I think I could get in the spirit and mindset of Christmas all year round. Why? Because the gift we have been given lasts an eternity. The gift of Jesus Christ, the gift of a Savior is important 365 days of the year, not just December 24. Let's remember the cheer all year because of the greatest gift we have received. It isn't like gift cards that expire. It isn't something we can forget about. And it isn't something we should store in our closet. Just like it says in the song: " Why in all this hatred do you fill me up with love, fill me love, love, yeah?" Because He loves us. It's that simple.Because he wanted to give us the greatest gift known to mankind, the kind that will benefit us and Him. The kind that will save our souls for all eternity.

He was the only one that could bring true love, love, love...to this world.

Thank You God...
