Some seem convinced that Christ is just
for women and the kids
and so they don’t expose themselves
to the good that Jesus bids.
“Peace on earth—good will to men,”
that takes in everyone;
but now as then some miss the joy
of knowing Christ the Son.
The merriment at Christmas is
so hollow at the core.
For some it spells much tragedy—
to rich as well as poor.
Could they but know the peace of mind
and comfort to the soul
available to those who trust,
and let Him have control.
Oh, “taste and see—the Lord is good;”
just face reality!
He offers resurrection life,
from chains of sin be free.
So many then received Him not
and nothing much has changed,
but those who do—oh, what a thrill!
Their lives are rearranged.
A babe, two thousand years ago;
today, the King of Kings.
In His domain, there’s peace and joy
not found in earthly things.
