At Christmas, we all hear the story
Of when Jesus Christ came to earth
We listen and watch a performance
Reminding us of Jesus’ birth.
But is this where we tend to leave it?
Enjoyment of something quite sweet;
Then off we go home for our dinner,
Expecting a wonderful treat.
But that’s not the end of the story.
God’s message is perfectly clear
And when he instructs us to share it,
He’s speaking to everyone here.
For God sent His only son Jesus
To earth full of love for us all,
And asks each of us just to love Him
Enough that we answer His call.
Let’s tell the whole world the great message
That heaven’s a welcoming place
And all who receive our Lord Jesus
Can enter it, purely by grace.
This Christmas poem was written as a performance poem to be used after a nativity play or as a part of a Christmas church service. I wrote it to accompany my “Do-it-Yourself Nativity” rhyming script, which is a very specific script for use by churches with a family, fun atmosphere and congregation members who are willing to join in.
