In His Presents?
by Bryan MilesColorfully wrapped
Bangles and bows
Soft frosted blue
Some appear froze
Scattered with snowmen
Sliding on ice
Holly and berries
Mistletoe and spice
Santa's eight reindeer
Glide on a sleigh
Such colorful stories
Wrapping papers play
Glimmering and sparkling
Reflecting the lights
Piles of presents
Each child delights
Each child delights
And longs to tear in
To every festive package
And to what lies within
Piles of presents
Sit under the tree
What a tempting enticement
For every eye to see
But what about the presence of God
My friend?
How often do you unwrap it?
How much time do you spend?
Carefully wrapped
With mercy and grace
Undeserved favor
Shines on your face
Such colorful stories
Testimonies play
How many gifts
Have you given today?
Glimmering and sparkling
Reflecting His light
So pile on God's presence
Be a star in the night
What a tempting enticement
For every eye to see
When you're in God's presence
You shine brighter than the tree...
-The Message-
Esther 9:20 Mourning somersaulted into a holiday for parties, the sending and receiving of presents.
Ephesians 1:20 The church is Christ's body, in which He speaks and acts, by which He fills everything with His presence.
