My First Christmas in Heaven

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 the tear
For I am 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.

I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description
to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
But I am not so far away
We really aren't apart.


So be happy for me, dear ones
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more
precious than pure gold.
It was always most important
in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
as my father said to do.
For I can't count the blessings or
love he has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas
and wipe away that tear
Remember I am spending
Christmas with Jesus Christ this year
