 It's Spring

Take Spring with you wherever you go

The sun will be shining

There'll be melting of snow

The birds will be singing

The grass will be green

It's Spring!

Take Spring with you wherever you go

The air smells like blossoms

A warm wind will blow

Children are laughing

You'll be wanting to sing

It's Spring!

It's Spring, oh yes it is Spring!

It's Spring, oh yes it is Spring!

The sunshine is beaming right out of your face

Your eyes have a twinkle

Your smile is in place

Kindness is given

Love and joy you will bring

It's Spring!

Wherever you go there is a bounce to your walk

Your feet feel like dancing

Your mouth wants to talk

Your ears want to listen

To the sound of good things

It's Spring!

It's Spring, oh yes it is Spring!

It's Spring, oh yes it is Spring!

So take Spring with you wherever you go

You'll spread lots of joy

To the people you know

Springtime is catching

Take it with you each day

I say!  It's Spring!

It's Spring!  Take it with you each day!

It's Spring!  Give some Springtime away!

It's Spring!

It's Spring!

Shepherds' Field

Shepherds' Field

On a quiet, peaceful, star filled night

Angels came into the shepherds' field

When a brand new star was shining bright

And unto the shepherds some news revealed.

The angels, coming to the shepherds' view

Kindly bid them not to be afraid.

For there was joy in the thing they knew

They had come to share where a baby laid.

All babies are precious, but this one more,

For He was the hope of all on Earth,

All that were there and those before,

And those who had not yet had their birth.

The shepherds heard the angels sing

With joy, and awe, and reverence sweet.

And they felt the joy this babe would bring

And they went to kneel at the baby's feet.

And after seeing the baby there

And worshiping Him there where He lay

They went out into the night to share

The marvelous things they had learned that day.

On a quiet, peaceful, star filled night

Angels came into the shepherds' field

When a brand new star was shining bright

And unto them glad news revealed.

Christmas

Christmas

Christmas lights, Christmas trees,

Falling snow, a fire's glow,

Cheerful music, tasty treats,

Yummy smells and food to eat.

Kindness in what people do.

Hope, and peace, and comfort too.

Thoughtful acts, forgiving ways,

Love woven in throughout each day.

A frantic pace.  Still moments too,

To think what Christ has done for you.

Golden times you wish to keep,

Amidst the common lack of sleep.

All the family gathered near

With anticipation and good cheer.

When hope and kindness are around,

When peace and joy and love abound.

This is how Christmas should be.

At least, that's what it seems to me.

Christmas Joy

 Christmas Joy

The new star shone up in the sky

And a gentle breeze was blowing by

As shepherds left their flocks at night

And went to see a holy sight

A mother with her baby small

A mighty king, on Earth for all.

Our Savior, then an infant son,

The Prince of Peace, The Holy One

And in the night the angels sang

Their praises to His holy name

They sang with gratitude and joy

For the birth of this important boy

Who'd stand against evil and sin

And this hard battle He would win!

He'd conquer Satan and death too.

He'd do it all for me, and you.

So as you look in the Christmas sky

Imagine an angel flying by

Singing with joy in the quiet night

As a new star shines its heavenly light.

Imagine the shepherds running past

In search of a Savior, come at last.

And let your own heart fill with joy

For the hope that was brought by a tiny boy.

Imagine Christmas

 Imagine Christmas

I like to imagine where I was that night

When the new star came that shone so bright.

Could I see the shepherds when the angel said

They'd find Jesus in a manger bed?

Did I raise my voice with those who sang with great delight,

And praise Him with my voice and heart all throughout the night?

Did I follow shepherds to where the baby lay,

And kneel with those who worshiped Him that day?

Did I cry for those who could not see His grace?

Did tears stream down my cheeks as I gazed upon His face?

Did I weep for the sins I knew He'd bear for me?

Did I pray that while on earth I'd have eyes to see,

The beauty of the gift that was born on Christmas day,

The beauty of our Savior come to show us all the way?

Did I thank the Father for giving us His Son;

For loving us so dearly that He sent the Perfect One?

Christ bears all our sorrows, our pain and grief and sin,

And I like to imagine what I did back then,

On the Christmas morning, when joy came to the Earth

And multitudes of angels sang hosanna at His birth.
