MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
with tiny lights like Heavens stars reflecting on the snow.
   The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear
       for I am spending Christmas with Jesus 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 so glad I'm spending Christmas
                                        with Jesus this year.

  I sent you 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 in store for each of  you.
         So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear

   Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
