Analysis of When Christmas Comes



The Christmas tree is beautiful,
Just like it is each year.
But Bible words so very full,
Describe when Christ came here!

He came to us in poverty
And lived His life that way.
His only hope is that we'd be
Disciples every day.

When Christmas comes this year, I will
Try hard to do my best.
To celebrate His birth until
I'm with Him for my Rest!
