To My Church Family

As I sit here watching the falling snow

And I look out and see the street lights glow

I think about what Christmas really means

There's carols, the tree and Nativity scenes

But what really means the most to me

Is my wonderful St. John's family

I never felt such warmth and love

My choir friends seem sent from above

Oh sure, we don't always see eye to eye

Sometimes we are close to seeing sparks fly

But beneath it all, we really care

It shows whenever we gather and share

So as we celebrate Jesus' birth

I thank God for this place on earth

And thank Him always in fervent prayer

For the Sunday my footsteps took me there

I've found wonderful friends in this world of strife

And I'll cherish them all for the rest of my life.
