The spirit of Christmas
The spirit of Christmas is often found In things that we can see A street of gold and silver A sparkling Christmas tree. It's found in quiet serenity Of freshly fallen snow In lights upon the river A candles gentle glow. It's found in pretty presents And treasures of delight In stories told of Christmas past On cold and wintry nights. It's found in Yuletide carolers Who stand out in the street And spread good cheer and tidings To everyone they meet. It's found in bustling cities As choirs get up to sing In sleepy little villages Where lonely church bells ring. It's found within a beggars heart Who kindly takes the time To help a cold and hungry child By sharing his last dime. It's found within the prisons walls And temples made of stone It's found within the orphanages And in the nursing homes. It's found within the wise men Who brought gifts from far away And the eastern star that led them To the stable where He lay. It's found within the Spirit This gift from up above It's filled with pure salvation And wrapped in His sweet love. It's even found in old St. Nick As he kneels down to pray To Jesus, Blessed Redeemer Who was born on Christmas day. Author/Written By: Marilyn Ferguson ©2002
