The Meaning of Christmas

Note: This was the first song I ever wrote. I was 20 when I wrote this on Christmas of '95. A friend of mine composed the melody and it has only been sung 3 or 4 times in public.

Verse 1: Standing by the road a boy with no home
No one to turn to, nowhere to roam
Everyone who passed by turn a blind eye
He doesn't know what Christmas is
'Cos there;s no one there to show him

Verse 2: Sitting by the corner of a dark, deserted street
She sits all alone, with nothing to eat
She is growing old and weary everyday
She has no one to call her own
Has no future to look forward to

Chorus: Where has the meaning of Christmas gone to?
What has this special season turned into?
How can we celebrate it meaningfully?
When someone out there is living miserably
Why can't we share our love and care?
With all the people who needs us there

Verse 3: If you dare to share the love and kindness from your heart
Stretch out your hand to those who need your care
Never fear 'cos Jesus is always there
Long as we really, really care
The people in need will never be in despair

Bridge: Show the world what Christmas is
Bring Jesus into their midst
Teach them courage, give them hope
Though nobody cares, they'll know
That Jesus cares, that Jesus cares

End: Why can't we share our love and care
With all the people who need us there (2x)

Spiritual Love

Spiritual Love

Love is the ability to wait

Love is always doing to others

Love rejoices in others’ success

Love never boasts about what it does

Love does not look down on others

Love is courteous and polite

Love focuses in helping others succeed

Love does not get angry easily

Love looks at the good side of people

Love is broken hearted when someone sins

Love is glad when there is uprightness and justice

Love is willing to carry others’ burdens

Love keeps up even when one keeps failing

Love does not give up when all have given up

Love is willing to go through excruciating pain

When you are in LOVE, in the eyes of God, you will never fail. God will always help you because…

GOD IS LOVE
