Happy Birthday Jesus

Happy Birthday Jesus.
My prayers have all been said.
Before the stroke of midnight
I will be tucked in bed.
Attending early service
On this your birthday's eve,
I gladly shared your supper
With others who believe.

We've fed some of Your hungry
And clothed some of Your poor
And shared some of our Christmas
With those who need it more.
I hope you like Your party, Lord
We've been preparing long
And lifting up our voices
In Happy birthday song.

Tomorrow in Your honor
We'll gather round the tree
And all those ringed around it
Will toast the Honoree.
If all wars could be halted
And dark clouds rolled away,
The peace you came to bring us
Would be felt this Christmas Day.

This is beautiful, Joyce. Wouldn't that ever be wonderful if all the wars were over? One day they will be and we'll be with our Savior forever.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
