Analysis of Tis The Season...
Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)
Tis the season to be jolly,
Little boys wish for a puppy Collie.
Then there are little girls,
Who wish for dolls with lots of curls.
Next is Mom with the Holiday cheer,
Who hopes all of the family can make it here.
Now comes Dad with all the glory,
For he knows what's behind the real story.
For getting gifts isn't really the real reason,
We should all Thank God for the Christmas season.
You see Jesus is why we should all have good cheer,
For this season is the Lord's time of the year.
Thank you Lord for giving us your Son,
And praise God for all of the souls you've won!
In Jesus Name...Amen!
