These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Christmas Music Went Away

Christmas music went away
just two days ago.
That's not bad for what they play.
I play what I know.

Christmas music ministers
when carols are made of hymns.
What they play in particular
are love songs just for them.

Christmas music honoring Christ
will last beyond this age.
Christmas music pays a price
when only made for the stage.

Christmas music will return
when there's money to be made,
but truest worship will not burn
at His Judgment Seat displayed.

So worship Jesus Christ Alone
with Christmas songs and hymns
for He returns to take His Throne.
Believers' Joy will brim.
