Christmas With the KingTo my dearest family that I left behind,I need to touch your heart tonight.For it's Christmas and you're missing me,And the season doesn't seem so bright.While others are celebrating the holiday,You find it hard to do the same.You watch other families gather in splendor,While you tearfully mention my name.I know it was painful for you this yearTo decorate your Christmas tree.For you cried as you hung each ornament.Your thoughts were focused on me.You shopped for presents for others,Although you felt out of place.When each day was over,I could see loneliness written on your face.You can't seem to get into the spirit,To enjoy any festivities this year.But think of the Christmases in the past,And you'll feel my presence near.Yes, and I come tonight to let you knowI'm happier than I could ever be.I'm spending my Christmas in Heaven;With the One who died for me.So go out and feel that Christmas cheer.Listen to the choirs as they sing.And know that I'm happier than I've ever been...Spending Christmas with the King.Merry Christmas Jim
