Almost Time for Christmas Joyce Wilde It is a almost time for Christmas And everyone is gay Wishing each other the joys They feel in their hearts today I have much joy in my heart And thanks and gratitude, too, For my many, many friends And the things you say and do. The Lord gives all of us trials Hoping to make us strong, And without the help of each other We would probably all go wrong. This year is closing much brighter Than at one time I thought it might. It has been your thoughts and faith and prayers That are helping to make things right. The Lord has heard your petitions, My life has been spared for a time. I a m grateful for a II of your prayers, And to Him who has listened to mine. Adversity must come to all, But it is easier to understand When things have turned out right again, That the Lord did have a plan. We all need to be reminded We agreed to the joy and the pain That must be suffered in this life So we could live with Him again. So at this Christmas season, Since we've received the plan from above, Let's put second the things of the world And start with the Savior's gift of love. |
