by Ben

I see the 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 am 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 sent you each a special gift
from my heavenly home above
I sent 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 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.
