Christmas, Don't Be Late (Even If I Am)
The Season of Light:
The Third Week of Advent
Sunday's Word:
Zephaniah 3:14-18 (The Lord will exult with you, over you; he will renew you by his love)
Isaiah 12:2-6 (Among you is the Holy One of Israel)
Philippians 4:4-7 (The Lord is near)
Luke 3:10-18 (What, then, must we do?)
Answer: Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, again I say, rejoice!
Something short and (hopefully, sweet):
Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for joys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry, Christmas - hurry fast!
Peace and truth are all we need
Grant to us with all your speed
We can hardly stand the wait
Please, Christmas, don't be late!
(Alvin, you were a little flat that time - watch it.)
