Standing Around the Tree

We stand around this tree of evergreen,
A family tradition, a wonderful scene.
Pulling out the garland and orbs so bright,
The tree is trimmed and topped with a star of light.

We recall the time long ago,
We rejoice in what we know.
Jesus came down in manger of low estate,
He came on a cold and bitter night, so late.

The tree is a symbol of His undying love,
And He came down from Heaven above.
Faithful He will be forever more,
By His cradle we will come and adore.

We stand and look upon the cross,
Knowing what He did came at great cost.
The tree, where precious was the flow,
Take me there, so that I may know.

Approaching the Throne

I come humbly before Thy Throne,
Knowing that through Christ my sin's did atone.
For without Your Son's sacrifice,
Nothing else will suffice.

I approach not in my own power,
But I approach in the needing hour. 
For I need to seek Thy face daily,
And I have been away frequently.

My God and King knows my heart,
And He knew it from the very start.
He turned my eyes to His Throne,
And from there His Glory shown.

Lead from Thy Almighty Throne,
And help me to make Thy presence known.
For You are all powerful,
And You will make me useful.

Are You Prepared?

Jesus shall come again soon,
Will your soul be in tune?
Or when in glory be denied,
We say we knew Him, we have lied.


The time we have is fading fast,
When you are gone, will your testimony last?
The message we bring is of great importance,
Because we all shall be judged in His presence.


The day of His return approaches,
And the end of time encroaches.
Do I know Him, as my Savior?
Or will you be dismissed for bad behavior?*


Consider His bleeding sacrifice,
Because your good works will not suffice.
For we are not our own,
But by Him, every part known.


* bad behavior- sin and the rejection of salvation
