Watch out:

The word of the world; yes it has much to say . . .

. . . You have planning, and shopping, and shopping some more.

Then comes cooking, and wrapping and baking galore.

It’s a hustle and bustle that grows every day.

The snowball grows larger and rolls where it may.

You just can’t stop it, so watch out . . .

GET OUT OF THE WAY!

Watch out:

The word of the Lord, yes it has much to say . . .

. . . Rest your body and spirit, and then rest in me.

There’s a reason and meaning, a meaning to see.

It’s not parties or Santa behind that one day.

Go slowly and stop now, the star leads the way.

Some may have missed it, so watch out . . .

HE SLEPT ON THE HAY!

Such a small gift; so humble and so dear.

Could you possibly give it?

Could you be that bold?

Such a rich gift; so special and so near.

Could you possibly share it?

Could the truth be told?

Watch out:

The word of your life, yes it has much to say . . .

. . . Wrap the gift of the baby who brought us God’s grace.

Give His love to the world and to all you embrace.

Tell the world that this baby grew to be the way.

Go slowly and stop now, to hear Jesus say.

Don’t let them miss it, so watch out . . .

MY CROSS WAS THE WAY!

Watch out:

The word of the world; yes it has much to say . . .

. . . Still the word of your life can be of much more worth.

If you share with the world to celebrate His birth

Tell the world it’s not Santa, but Jesus who says.

Go slowly and stop now at my cross today.

Salvation is there, accept it . . .

I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

Such a small gift; so humble and so dear.

Could you possibly give it?

Could you be that bold?

Such a rich gift; so special and so near.

Could you possibly share it?

Could the truth be told?
