This Christmas performance poem is purpose written to be used to compliment my “Grandpa’s Nativity Story” nativity play, but can be used as a standalone poem too. It uses a repeated refrain throughout the poem, plus an optional extension which could be used as part of a church sermon.
| Presents are lovely at Christmas A great way to share out our love But let’s not forget that the best gift Is the one that came down from above. |
God bless us at Christmas, each one of us here But don’t forget Jesus at this time of year. |
| The blessing of Jesus at Christmas Is the one that we seldom remember, Lost in the fun and the parties; The festivities of December. |
God bless us at Christmas, each one of us here But don’t forget Jesus at this time of year. |
| The pleasures we all have at Christmas Are wonderful things we can share, Ways to express how we’re feeling; Chances to show how we care. |
God bless us at Christmas, each one of us here But don’t forget Jesus at this time of year. |
| We have some fantastic traditions And families and friends gather round Collecting up memorable moments And treasuring gifts that abound. |
God bless us at Christmas, each one of us here But don’t forget Jesus at this time of year. |
| He came down to earth from in heaven To live out his life as a man But the Christmas nativity story Was only the way it began. |
| (# can extend to a ‘sermon’ by adding the optional insert in here.) |
So bless God at Christmas, each one of us here Say thank you to Jesus at this time of year. |
# Optional insert to add as part of a church sermon maybe..So let’s not forget Him at Christmas For Jesus was more than a child He knew that He would have to die As someone despised and reviled Someone who suffered for our sakes Someone with unending love Someone who is God entirely The Trinity, come from above. |
