This Christmas Day



Mercy was given to me this Christmas day,
that’s why I praise Jesus name everyday.

Joy was given to me this Christmas day.
This joy that was given to me allowed
my sadness to fade away.

Love was given to me this Christmas day.
His love for me took away so much hate.

Peace was given to me this Christmas day.
Jesus peace took away a controlling force
of havoc that took over my day.

Because of the birth of Jesus my life
Is full of mercy, joy, love, and peace
Which allow me to praise Jesus’ name
out loud in the streets

Christmas reminds me
without the birth of Jesus
my life would have been full of
so much defeat.

But, when Jesus arrived on the scene
as a little baby, my life was
change from beginning to ending and
when I accept Christ as my savior
I became a winner.
