The Christmas Tree

Don't look under the Christmas tree for a gift, for the "gift" hung on the tree;

The red lights stand for His blood, that He shed for you and me.

The glittering strings of icicles, are for each one of His angels standing by;

Waiting to do His holy biding, on God's command they shall fly.

The different color of balls, represent the many different colors of skin;

Each one is unique and beautiful, but not a one is without sin.

The garland wrapped around the branches, is God's love holding us tight;

The Father loved us all so much, that He gave His all on that silent night.

The tree itself is green, for the life of all God's creations;

The star on top points to the birthplace of His Son, who was sent to save the nations.

Put it all together, this tree represents our dear Savior, Jesus Christ;

Every time I see a Christmas tree, I am reminded of His death and His life. Amen
