A Gift Devine

In humble steps, a manger His throne,
Jesus came, God's love brightly shown.
Not a demand for fealty, but a tender call,
Affection revealed, embracing all.

Grace wrapped in swaddling, a gift divine,
A Savior's love in every design.
Allegiance sought through compassionate gaze,
In manger's embrace, eternal love stays.

Tribulation

In this life, I live in a world of tribulation
Oh, how I search for a life of inspiration 

So many ups and downs on my path
I am in search of a road of less strife

I stumbled on the answer one day
On bended knee, I began to pray

All my  worries faded from my sight
At last, I saw God's light in the night

Physically, my tribulations are still there
In my heart, I have Joy with no despair 

I have  won the race before it began 
Reaching out with God taking my hand

God’s grace, the surgeon

In the realm of grace, a surgeon divine,
God, with compassion, a love that entwines.
As a heart surgeon, skillful and true,
Cracks open your chest, pride it undo.

With hands that sculpt with heavenly art,
He extracts the poison that tainted your heart.
Pride and pain, the burdens you bear,
Replaced by His essence, a love beyond compare.

No demand to change before acceptance begins,
In the soul's surgery, forgiveness always wins.
He doesn't wait for you to cleanse and repent,
Acceptance first, then the cleansing is sent.

A love so profound, in grace it abounds,
Transforming your essence, where healing surrounds.
Not a judgmental gaze, but a merciful view,
God's grace, the surgeon, making all things new.

Christmas in Heaven

I can't imagine Christmas in Heaven
The size of that Christmas tree
The Ornaments sparkle, and the lights are the stars that we see

Jesus is Santa to all the kids gathered around
Magnificent  presents under the tree abound

Every Child receives the perfect gift beyond their dreams
The gift of Mercy and Love is the most popular, it seems

Angelic Christmas Carols being sung in the glistening snow
I hear O’little Town of Bethelem. I see their faces glow

No hustle and bustle at Christmas there
Majestic Golden Bells ring clear in the air

Christmas in Heaven lasts for an eternity
Thank You, God, for the hope of certainty

Santa in Heaven

As time marches on, everything comes to an end
Things that seem eternal here soon transcend 

The legend of Santa Clause and the love He brings
Moves into another realm where we hear children sing

His suit of Scarlet Red is now a suit of Pure Gold
For the Much Love he has given, he now holds

The fat Jolly Man in his red suit will remain in the hearts of children
Circling the earth, delivering Christmas Presents by the trillion

When time shall be no more and earth is complete
Santa and His Sleigh will fly through eternity delivering Presents of Love to The Little Children's feet

Hanukkah

In the glow of Hanukkah lights so bright,
A festival of joy, a sacred night.
Judaism's ideals, steadfast and true,
In each candle's flame, a story anew.

Blessed be the Ruler of the Universe's decree,
Commanding us to light, to set our spirits free.
Rededication's tale, the Second Temple's grace,
Igniting flames of faith in a sacred embrace.

Each candle's flicker, a symbol so divine,
Echoes of history in every shine.
Blessed are we, in the light's warm embrace,
A celebration of faith, a journey in grace.
