WHAT DID SANTA BRING JESUS?
“Mommy, what did Santa bring Jesus?”
a small child was heard to reason.
Is this a question we all should ponder
as we near a new Christmas season?
Did the Easter bunny hide any eggs
in the tomb where the Master lay?
Another question no child should ask
for surely he’d rue the day.
Do these questions from a poets pen
cause anger to rise up within?
Perhaps my friend you should think
on this rhyme
Before you find cause to condemn.
Should we wonder why the moral decay
in this land of the free and the brave?
When we take Christ Jesus from Christmas
and replace Him with Santa and sleigh?
Should we worry about the tablets of stone
or prayer in our schools near and far?
So quick we blame those “atheists”
when in truth we should look in our car.
For in the trunk you’ll surely find
the gifts meant from Santa’s own hand
And then there’s the eggs from a bunny??
Oh, won’t next Easter be grand.
We’re surely to blame for the absence of Christ
in these seasons of birth and of life
We’ve truly succumbed to the lies of the world
And our country has paid the price.
Yet, woe to each one who stands in that day
and our judgment is swift at hand;
For the Father is sure to ask you friend
What part Santa played in HIS plan.
“Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord…” 2 Cor 6:17(KJV)
