\n\u201cI Believe in Angels\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Folks often say Christmas is for children,<\/p>\n

Ice skating, building castles of snow.<\/p>\n

Oh, I believe Christmas is a holy birthday!<\/p>\n

a time to sit by a warm fire, sing holiday songs.<\/p>\n

I believe in shepherds! \u00a0and angels!<\/p>\n

and Three Kings who delivered priceless gifts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a joy to be with friends, to give\u00a0gifts.<\/p>\n

Adults once again become like children,<\/p>\n

who look out the window to see the first\u00a0snow.<\/p>\n

The Ancients anticipated this birthday<\/p>\n

celebration that \u00a0began with heavenly songs<\/p>\n

when the birth of Messiah was announced by angels.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The holy birth was shared with shepherds and angels,<\/p>\n

long before mass marketing, tinsel, and glitzy gifts,<\/p>\n

The promised Child would heal earth\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the plains were deep with snow<\/p>\n

on the night of His miraculous birthday<\/p>\n

Yes, I believe in angel songs!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the darkest winter night, listen for the songs<\/p>\n

sung by a choir of angels.<\/p>\n

The greatest heavenly gifts<\/p>\n

Came to walk with earth\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

As I light the Advent wreath I look out at falling snow-<\/p>\n

and remember the reason behind this ancient birthday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On bleak December days, consider His birthday.<\/p>\n

Listen in the quiet night for angel songs.<\/p>\n

The birth of Messiah, announced by the angels,<\/p>\n

is the reason for exchanging gifts.<\/p>\n

I believe Christ\u2019s birthday is truly for children<\/p>\n

like me and you who walk in a world of wintry snow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m a child listening for angels<\/p>\n

songs. I remember the wise men\u2019s gifts.<\/p>\n

the Anointed Gift from God \u2013 I believe in children!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

OH, I still love to make snow angels,<\/p>\n

Sing joyous songs for the Savior\u2019s birthday-<\/p>\n

I believe in Christmas gifts! I believe in children!<\/p>\n
