These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Christmas: "The Lord's Day"

The Lord can take a crusty Scrooge,
and make "a good old man."
The Lord can take a written dirge,
and make a living plan.

The Lord can take some stockings hung,
then hope-filled we rejoice.
The Lord can fill lungs with songs sung
by making us His Choice.

The Lord of Glory came to Earth,
was laid in manger bed.
Compelled He sons to lasting birth
when on the cross was dead.

The Gift He is from Mary's womb
makes Him the most Unique.
He laid the same when in the tomb,
but now Choice sinners seek.

The Lord so risen rules today,
and will forevermore.
May we toward him great blessings say,
and thank him for his store.
