I awoke
To a landscape of white
It snowed
All day and night

A winter wonderland
Was before my eyes
The snow seemed
To reach the skies

With my trusty snow shoes
I set out on a trek
I heard a woodpecker
On the oak tree, it did peck

Bitter cold air
Stung my lung
I felt alive
Caught a snowflake on my tongue

The snow shimmered
Under morning light
It was a dazzling display
Quite the sight

A white Christmas
We had this year
I love this season
Of peace and good cheer

It’s raining today
I am depressed
Full of dismay
I won’t get dressed

I feel glum
I’m down in the dumps
I’ll chat with Vi my chum
I’ll have to take my lumps

I hate being blue
I have no energy
Bad thoughts I eschew
I’m full of lethargy

I wish to run and play
I’m stuck here in bed
I want to be gay
I’m totally lethargic instead

Behold
The King of the Jews
I proclaim the Gospel
It is Good News

Man was mired in sin
He needed to be reconciled
To an all-holy and all-righteous God
He needed a Savior undefiled

Christ was born
Of a virgin so pure
His path
Was sure

He would save mankind
By sovereign grace alone
Of all the people
Only Christ could atone

At Calvary
He paid the price
Christ was not guilty
Of any vice

On the third day
He rose
Christ was resurrected
His divinity shows

We are born into sin
But Christ was
Our propitiation

He was our sinless
Sacrifice
Our Lord so gracious

We have a mighty Redeemer
Christ the Messiah
He sent us the Comforter

We are regenerated
Before we have the gift of faith
Our souls are quickened

We become a new creation
We are spiritually alive
This is a reason for elation

We must grow in sanctification
Mortifying the flesh each day
We will do it until glorification

Oh glorious victory
Which Christ has won
Our precious Redeemer
God’s Son

He paid the price
For all our sin
He was our dear
Propitiation

At Calvary
Christ hung
He was only 33
Years young

He descended into hell
Christ set the captives free
He can do the same
For you and me

The grave couldn’t hold Him
On the third day, Christ rose
No longer
Did He lay in repose

Christ is alive
Let the angels sing
He alone
Is our King

The gray wolf runs
Across the dense forest
Searching for a meal
It detects a strong scent
Perhaps a delectable prey
The wolf goes on the prowl
It’s now running
Every second it gets closer
His heart pounding
Finally it snatches up
The prey between its jaws
A juicy rabbit
It was a good hunt
The wolf returns to its pack
Their shrill howls
Pierce the quiet stillness
Of the forest

We give God thanks
Not for stocks or banks

We give God thanks for our home
Pray for the homeless who roam

We give God thanks for our health
It’s more important than wealth

We give God thanks for Christ the Lord
He is the living Word

We give God thanks for having enough food
Cooked on a stove fueled by wood

We give God thanks for our family
Their love is heavenly

We give God thanks for Calvary
Christ died to set men free

We give God thanks for our salvation
And we weep for those facing damnation

We give God thanks for laughter and fun
And for our children

We thank God for trials and affliction
They are necessary for our sanctification

I have a swollen gut
Just like Jabba The Hut

My meaty belly is hungry
It needs foods sundry

I want all the food that’s delicious
They may be nutritious

My appetite is voracious you see
I need all the food in my belly

My massive belly is huge
When it comes to food I want a deluge

I smack my behemoth belly all-day
I do it without delay
