Help is on the Way 

I don’t know you
And you don’t know me

We have a mutual friend you see
He told me to tell you Help is on the way  

He is coming to help if you are Troubled 
He will lovingly lift you out of the Rubble

If everything is going good and you love everyone 
Look above and count your Blessings
Name them one by one

He will laugh and cry with us
And take care of all our needs
We will follow whoever HE leads

You will know him when he arrives
His love will dwell up in your heart 

Our Friend Is God who made you and me
HE will live within  us never more to part

 When  Baby Jesus came home

When Joseph and Mary returned home
They were neighbors of ours

My mother said we should see them
And take  some flowers 

As we came to the house, there was something different
I cannot explain
It  smelled like fresh falling rain

They welcomed us inside 
So proud of their son
They told of their journey with great excitement 
And how it had begun

Mary said God sent us this son for a great purpose on earth 
We have no idea of his great worth

As I turned and saw the smile on this baby’s face
I could not contain myself 
I ran all over the place

My mother told me to calm down, or we would have to go
She did not want me to disturb this baby, that had such a glow

As we were about to leave, 
I turned to look and saw that face
I will never forget The love and grace

Many years have passed
But I can still see Baby Jesus's Face
