My First Christmas In Heaven
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 the 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 is beyond description, To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I’m 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’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 a gift, more precious then pure gold,
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
as my Heavenly Father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessing or love,
he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas,
and wipe away the tear
Remember, I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
