Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With Tiny lights like Heaven's stars
reflecting on the snow
The sights so spectacular
Please wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear,
But the sound of music cannot
compare with the
Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you
The joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description
To hear the angels sing.
I know how much 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 dear ones.
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I am 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 a gift
More precious than pure gold.
It was always most important
In the stories Jesus told.
So let's love each other
As the Father said to do.
For I cannot count the blessings
he has for you.
So have a merry Christmas
And wipe away that tear,
Remember I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year
