These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Christmas is About Peace

Each Christmas is about our peace,
eternally from Time.
The days of joy can all increase
in Jesus' Love sublime.

That Jesus came to save lost souls
we love His Birth to know.
Each Christmas day our yearly goals
revolve 'round seeds we sow.

The twinkly lights, and carol songs,
and gifts of ev'ry kind
are great, but in each heart it longs
to know His Tie, that binds.

Each Christmas is the place to rest
our soul's deep weary weight.
Because He came we can be blest.
Forever no more late.

The greatest Christmas Present came
three days beyond the cross.
His Substitution took our blame.
His Goodness, no more loss.

I talk of Christmas all the time,
since Jesus' lasting Grace
doth tune the heart to ever chime
the hymns, that show His Face.

Each Christmas 'bout His Peace, that glows
is on each sav-ed tongue.
How blest fore'er a heart, that knows
Salvation's hymn is sung.
