I see countless Christmas trees,

   Around the world below;

With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars,

   Reflecting on the snow:

The sight is so spectacular;

   Please wipe away that tear:

For I am spending Christmas,

   With Jesus Christ this year!

I hear the many Christmas songs,

   That people hold so dear;

But the sounds of music can't compare,

   With the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,

   The joy their voices bring;

For it's beyond description,

   To hear the angels sing.

I know how you miss me;

   I see the pain inside your heart:

But I am not so far away;

   We really aren't apart.

So be happy for me, Loved ones;

   You know I hold you dear:

And be glad I'm spending Christmas,

   With Jesus Christ this year!

I send you each a special gift,

   From my Heavenly Home above.

I send you each a memory,

   Of my undying love.

After all, "Love" is the gift,

   More precious than pure gold;

It was always most important,

   In the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,

   As my Father said to do;

For I can't count the blessings,

   Or the love He has for you!

So, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS,

   And wipe away that tear.

Remember, I'm spending Christmas,

   With Jesus Christ this year!
