Adoration Of The Magi

A Child born and so known and told
Gifts of frankincense, myrrh and gold
Three Wise Men to distance far

Guided by heaven's shining star
A life of devotion, grace and praise
To fill the unfolding of His days
Let it be ever known, ever heard
Jesus, His life, His love, His Divine WORD.

A Blessed and Merry Christmas to All.

Upon Us

Upon us BE this SPRIT of light and change
As constant as each breath of life we breathe
Ever the giving, the receiving, the ebb and flow
The waxing and waning in cresting waves of time
This the blessing of THE WAY, the knowing of the divine
This the birth of the CHRIST CHILD in celebration anew
This the LOVE shared with the GRACE that is YOU.

Merry Christmas to All.

...and so this day ... PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE BE

Birth of light, this of divinity's care
Season of celebration with heart we share
Adornments upon a tree, symbols of love
Pray we to the sacred heavens above
Songs and merriment fill they the way
Peace and blessings of a Christmas Day
A Christ Child is born, gifts from wise men of three
A KING, PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE BE.
