The Day of Resurrection 
Thou Didst Leave thy Throne 

To God Be the Glory 
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus


Recommended Christmas poem:


'Twas the Light Before Christmas (author unknown)

Excerpt from this poem:

"I asked [Santa] if Jesus was God in the flesh
He said that was something he couldn’t confess.
He said 'I am Santa, I have come from afar.'
I stood in the truth, 'The Devil you are!
That suit and that beard doesn’t fool me one bit
Your jolly deception is straight from the pit!.'"
