“My dear precious Jesus, I did not mean to take your place,
I only bring toys and things and you bring love and grace.
People give me lists of wishes they hope to come true;
But you hear prayers from the heart and promise your will to do.
Children try to be good and not cry when I come to town,
But you love them unconditionally and that love will abound.
I leave only a bag of toys and temporarily leave joy for the season,
But you leave a heart of love, filled with purpose and reasons.
I have a lot of believers and what one might call fame;
But I have never helped the blind or tried to help the lame.
I have rosy cheeks and a voice full of laughter,
But no nail scarred hands or a promise hereafter.
You may find several of me in town or at the mall;
But there is only one omnipotent you to answer a sinners call.
And so, my dear Jesus I kneel right here to pray;
To worship and adore you on your holy birthday."
Jesus is the reason for the season 🙏❤
