            CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN


                                 I see countless Christmas trees,
                                    Around the world below,
                               With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars
                                    Reflecting on the snow.

                                   The sight is so spectacular,
                                   Please wipe away the tear,
                                  For I am spending Christmas,
                                  With Jesus Christ this year.

                                I hear the many Christmas songs,
                                   That people hold so dear,
                              But the sounds of music can't compare,
                                With the Christmas choir up here.

                                   I have no words to tell you,
                                   The joy their voices bring,
                                  For it is beyond description,
                                    To hear the angels sing.

                                 I know how much you miss me,
                                 I see the pain inside your heart,
                                    But I'm not so far away,
                                    We really aren't apart.

                                 So be happy for me, dear ones,
                                   You know I hold you dear,
                               And be glad I'm spending Christmas,
                                  With Jesus Christ this year.

                                  I send you each a special gift,
                                 From my heavenly home above,
                                   I send you each a memory,
                                      Of my undying love.

                                     After all, love is a gift,
                                 More precious than pure gold,
                                  It was always most important,
                                    In the stories Jesus told.

                                Please love and keep each other,
                                As my Heavenly Father said to do,
                               For I can't count the blessing or love,
                                    He has for each of you.

                                  So have a Merry Christmas,
                                   And wipe away that tear,
                              Remember, I am spending Christmas,
                                  With Jesus Christ this year!!!
