*** Tissue Alert ***
Twas The Night Before Jesus Came
'Twas the night before Christmas came
and all through the house,
Not a creature was praying,
not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain
on the shelf without care,
In hopes that
Jesus
would not come there.
The children were dressing
to crawl into bed,
Not once ever kneeling
or bowing a head.
And Mom in her rocker
with baby on her lap,
Was watching
the Late show
while I took my nap.
When out of the East
there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet
to see what was the matter.
Away to the window
I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash.
When
what to my wondering eyes
should appear,
But
angels
proclaiming that
Jesus
was here.
With a light
like the sun
sending forth a bright ray
I knew in a moment
this must beTHE DAY!
The light of His face
made me cover my head,
It was Jesus!
Returning
just like He had said.
And though I possessed
worldly wisdom
and wealth,
I cried
when I saw
Him
in spite of myself.
In the Book of Life
which He held in His hand,
Was written the
name
of every
saved man.
He spoke not a word
as He searched for my name,
When He said,
"It's not here"
my head hung in shame.
The people whose names
had been written with love,
He gathered to take to His Father above.
With those
who were ready
He rose without a sound,
While all the rest
were left standing around.
I fell to my knees,
but it was too late,
I had waited too long
and thus sealed my fate.
I stood
and I cried
as they rose out of sight,
Oh,
if only I'd been ready
tonight.
In the words of the poem
the meaning is clear,
The coming of
Jesus
is drawing near.
There's only one life
and when comes the last call,
We'll find that
the Bible
was true after all.
