I’m Spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this Year
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 that tear for I’m 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.
For I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring for it is beyond description to hear as angels sing. I know how much you miss me; I see the pain inside your heart for I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I can’t tell you of the splendor of the peace here in this place, can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior, face to face?
I’ll ask him to light your spirit as I tell him of your love, so then pray one for another as you lift your eyes above.
Please let your heart be joyful and let your spirit sing, for I’m spending Christmas in heaven and I’m walking with the King!
