Christ"m"as Love! Part 4 of 4)

 

Scene 2: Christmas Love!

 

So the authority agreed to a subtle change in name

As long as none were blatantly brought to shame

 

The children caroled and behaved with respect

There were no complaints, not even one did object

 

For the finale they lined with poster board painted

When rolled in a manger scene, the teacher about fainted

 

Each letter was raised for the audience to see

Spelled out the message they meant it to be

 

Z. Tyler: “C” is for Children summoned by His clarion call

Lauren: “H” is for Heaven which welcomes them all

 

Lexi: “R” is for Rhythm of the Little Drummer Boy

Anna: “I” is for Independent, Individual joy

 

Z. Tyler: “S” is for Saints above and on earth

Lauren: “T” is for Trinity declaring His birth

 

Lexi: “M” is for Me, never forgotten

Anna: “A” is for Angels who honor the begotten

 

Z. Tyler: “S” is for our Salvation-Redemption

Lauren: “L” is for Love without any condition

Lexi: “O” is for Others to join in the fun

Anna: “V” is for Virtue in God’s own Son

 

All: “E” is for Eternal Grace every day

All: The exclamation point is a Christian in every way

 

All (singing): Go ahead and love your neighbor, go ahead and kiss a friend

All (singing): Do it in the name of Jesus, He will bless you in the end

 

All (singing): On sacred every hereafter day

All (singing): One true Christian rides away

 

Dead silence enveloped the audience in its confusion

Staring at the spelling, they couldn’t get its conclusion

 

The “M” letter was sitting quite upside down

A “W” meaning exacted smiles from a frown

 

The children didn’t know what they held above

The true message today, simply: Christ-was Love!

 

All (singing): Silent night! Holy night!

All (singing): All is calm! All is bright!

 

All (singing): Round yon virgin, mother and child

All (singing): Holy Infant, so tender and mild

 

All (singing): Sleep in heavenly peace

All (singing): Sleep in heavenly peace

 

All: Amen!

 

All (singing): We wish you a Merry Christmas!

All (singing): We wish you a merry Christmas!

All (singing): We wish you a Merry Christmas!

All (singing): And, a life of good cheer!

 

All (shout!): Merry Christmas!
