Where’s The Line To See Jesus?

Where’s The Line To See Jesus?

http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=76LY6GNX
 

First Verse: :
Christmas time was approaching, the snow is starting to fall,
Shoppers choosing their presents, people filling the mall,
Children waiting for Santa with excitement and glee.
A little boy tugged my sweater, looked up and asked me,

Chorus:

Where’s the line to see Jesus? Is He here at the store?
If Christmas time is His birthday, why don’t we see Him more?
Where’s the line to see Jesus? He was born for me.
Santa Claus brought me presents, but Christ gave His life for me.

‘Twas The Month Before Christmas–Another Version

When I saw the original, it inspired me and so I wrote another version of it and used in the 12/3/2010 sermon:

Twas The Month Before Christmas 

Twas the month before Christmas When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying Nor taking a stand.

The reason for Christmas - no one really cared

For there was so little time to be spared.

 

Children were told by their schools not to sing
About Jesus and Shepherds and Wise Men and things.

”It might hurt people’s feelings,” so many would say
And besides, December 25th is just another ‘

Holiday ‘.

All mangers and cretches were pulled from the streets.

So that none would know Jesus, nor Him even seek.

 

The atheists, the liberals, the militants too

All joined with politicians to rid of Jesus too.

 

And then in the Congress and courts rose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

 

The Christians remained silent, their faith made forbidden.
Forbidden to speak of His mercy, silent on His salvation,

The Jesus of Christmas was removed and discarded
And the reason for the season stopped before it even started.

 

The blue pill had been taken, devoured, swallowed whole.

And Jesus was forgotten so many lost souls.

 

Which pill will you take when Christmas appears.

The blue pill of cowardice or the red pill of faith?

Advent: Preparing For Jesus!

What’s wrong with a country which claims “separation of Church and State” to make it illegal to place mangers and Christian symbols in public places, but will use government insitutions to promote denigrating images of Jesus being eaten by ants?

John the Baptist’s cry, “Prepare the way of the Lord!” is just as important today as it was when originally spoken 2000 years ago.

This year’s Advent Theme is “Open Your Eyes to Jesus.” As we rediscover the joy and amazement of God’s love for us in Jesus Christ, we are emboldened to share with others the transformation which God’s love gives.

Stir up our hearts, Lord. Open our eyes to Jesus!
