We will live forever
When you hear the death knell
Some souls go to heaven and some to hell

Before the world’s foundation
God predestined who would be saved
Out of all the depraved

Christ is King
We are saved by grace through faith alone
Because He did atone

Christ died
At Calvary
To set men free

For 3 days in the tomb
Did Christ lay
Then He rose, with His glory on full display

Because of Christ’s sacrifice
Men could be forgiven their sin
He alone was our propitiation

Hear the gospel
Truly repent and believe
Do not let Satan deceive

Live for Christ
And live by the Word
Let your heart be stirred

A baby’s soiled diaper is putrid
Infants are rather stupid

They belch, fart, vomit, poop, pee, and drool
They are too dirty for school

I absolutely refuse to change a baby
Doing so would make me totally crazy

Changing diapers is women’s work
I know I may sound like a jerk

For the vast majority of human history
Only women changed babies you see

I shall hold a baby that smells fresh and clean
I don’t want to be mean

Oh that great and glorious day
When Christ returns to earth
Accompanied by those given second-birth

All of Israel shall be saved
They will mourn not recognizing the Messiah
They will accept Christ as prophesied in Zechariah

Every eye will see Jesus
As He descends to the ground
On the Mount of Olives, He’ll be found

Jesus will be riding a white horse
He shall annihilate the Satanic horde
Christ shall smash them like a ripe gourd

Out of His mouth will come a great sword
Christ shall utterly crush His enemies in a bloodbath
Under the winepress of God’s wrath

Christ will reign over the earth
Believers in Christ will reign with Him for a millennium
It will not be a delirium

Santa is preparing a list
Of all the girls and boys
The good ones will get toys

Santa’s sleigh will depart
On Christmas Eve night
His reindeer will take flight

Santa will visit
Only Christian children
That is his mission

On Christmas morning
The kids will open their gifts
Outside are snow drifts

For Christmas dinner
There shall be a baked ham or fat goose
People will let their appetites loose

Don’t forget
The plum pudding is so dandy
And fruit cake soaked in brandy

We must not forget
That Christ is the reason
For our joyous Christmas season

Uncle Eddie was our shepherd
God’s Word was heard

Daddy and Jay would talk all-day
I felt gay

Mommy was the lead singer of the worship team
Listening to her sweet voice was like a dream

My sisters and I loved Vacation Bible School
We’d sing “Yes, Jesus Loves Me”, it was so cool

The Bible skits were so fun
We’d laugh and play and run

In Vermont, I went to the summer Bible camp
Sometimes the ground was damp

The Christmas cantata was great
The production was first-rate

The pizza muffins and lemon drink couldn’t be beat
They were a tasty summer treat

Going to church on Easter Sunday was the best
We were nicely dressed

I cherish my baptism by full immersion in the pool
I was 10 and still in elementary school

I was one of King Arthur’s
Knights of the Round Table
This was no mere fable

In the church
I swore an oath to the Lord
As I bowed with my sword

Many exciting adventures I had
I saved damsels in distress
Fighting evil until success

The Saracens had taken Jerusalem
I joined the crusade
In the Holy Land, I used my blade

We won a great victory
The Saracens were destroyed
I was overjoyed

I returned home to Camelot
And settled down with a wife
No longer need I endure strife

I wish to slumber
A refreshing sleep
So pure and deep

I’ll drift into unconsciousness
And dream
Reality is not as it may seem

I’m in the enchanted forest
I visit Avalon
And wake up at dawn

I was a Templar Knight
Saving a beautiful damsel in the night
From a terrifying fright

Next, I was crusading
In Jerusalem, I fought the Saracen
These Satanic men

We took back the Holy Land
“Deus Vult!” we yelled out loud
Of our victory we were proud

I woke up finally
And marveled at all I dreamt
I was exhausted and spent

I spied a tasty lamb
I’ll eat it with some baked ham

I’ll finish everything on my plate
It will all taste great

I need a juicy ribeye steak
I’ll have it with a clam bake

Shrimp scampi is sure to please
I’ll have some Gouda cheese

A roasted turkey is very nice
I’ll have fresh oysters over ice

A footlong Italian hoagie made my day
I’ll eat it without delay

A lobster tail with butter I’ll consume
I better leave, in my belly, some room

A bowl of clam chowder I’ll devour
I’ll have some jumbo shrimp sweet and sour

There is nothing like
The excitement of Christmas morning
While Mommy and Daddy are snoring

My sisters and I
Wake up at dawn
Today Christ was born

We get our parents
Then begin opening gifts
Outside are snowdrifts

Our gorgeous Christmas tree
With its blinking colored lights
Such beautiful sights

A mountain of gifts
Awaited us to open
We tore into them before a word was spoken

We feast on fruit cake
And sip hot cocoa with whipped cream
The holiday magic feels like a dream

On the radio
We hear Christmas songs
People are listening by the throngs

Finally, I curl up
In my warm bed
While dreams of Christmas swirl in my head

We’re looking forward
To a Thanksgiving feast
Our appetites are released

There will be a plump turkey
Roasted to perfection
It’s a good selection

Homemade stuffing
Will surely be a delight
It’s prepared right

We’ll have sweet potatoes
And mashed potatoes too
It will be a pleasure to chew

Brussel sprouts will please
Corn in butter sauce is delicious
The cranberry sauce is nutritious

Pumpkin pie for dessert
A cold glass of apple cider I need
This Thanksgiving I’ll feed
