Left Out of Christmas

Left Out Of Christmas

Even in the way they spell it.
People often leave Him out,
Just an X they use for Christ now,
How it hurts a soul devout.

Just an X instead of Christ now,
Just a tree with angel hair,
Holly first and then comes Holy,
Presents come before a prayer.

Families worshiping together
Christian tales at parent’s knee
Celebrating peace and glory
That’s what Christmas means to me.

How I wish your Christmas day is,
Filled with Christ from first to last,
And that His sweet presence lingers,
‘Till the whole New Year is past.
