Analysis of His Stocking is Empty



There's nothing in His stocking now.
So many have not hung
His stocking up to show just how
He's loved by old and young.

So many do not think of Christ,
The Day He came to Earth.
Instead, they think of gifts high priced
And not the Virgin birth!

When you are standing near the tree
With all the gifts below,
I hope you know God's Gift will be
The One without a bow!
