When presents were wrapped with ribbons and bows,

As piled high the presents did grow

I heard something from within me say

Do you remember the meaning of Christmas day

When you placed the presents under that tree

Did you still remember me

When you stressed more about the gifts, even when money was tight

Just so worried of making Christmas feel just right

Did you forget the greatest gift you did receive

Please tell me this true gift you can perceive

Remember, it was not wrapped under a tree, but born in a manger

To give us true life and safe us from sins danger

A babe, born on Christmas day, that would be the Savior of all

Something that cannot be bought at a mall

As the presents were nice and such a blessing it’s true

Something was missing Lord, and I know it was you

So as I sat on my chair, right next to my Christmas tree

I said thank you Lord, for not forgetting about me

Remember Christ

Luke 2:7-11 NIV

and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
