Twas the time for Christmas

Twas the time before Christmas

And all through the USA

Not a believer was concerned

Nor hoping to stay

The hand of evil in our land

Nary a one who’d take a stand.

Parents were in a loud uproar

Because kids couldn’t sing

Or talk of the baby Jesus

Or make much of angelic things

It seems everyone only thought

That a problem was a foot

Anger spread toward the PC Police

Now Christmas was caput

You could hear them all say

December 25th is our holiday

Believers still spent their cash and credit

With similar frenzy they rushed to get it

They made loud protests for God

While His glory disappeared from this sod

It was important for retailers to meet their quota

As commercials promoted Buick and Toyota

What if Target hung trees upside down

Or at Lowes the word "Christmas" wasn’t found

Why should K-Mart or Staples or Penny’s or Sears

Be responsible for what tickles your ears

Are you surprised at the push for diversity?

These things do not intimidate me

Why are you surprised at all this clatter?

God’s name and fame is all that matters

No one can take a true believer’s faith away

No need to shut up salvation or grace

Why such a fuss over a pagan holiday

Christ’s Mass doesn’t have a place

We are called to be witnesses to the fact

that Christ was resurrected and not to an act

of birth not even in December by the way

To compete with a pagan holiday 

There is no gift of Christmas to exchange or discard

No reason for a season to stop or to start

Whether you are on winter break under a dream tree

Take the time to sip some Seattle’s Best and listen to me

Forget this battle that once a year doth rage

Honor the King of glory, the Sovereign of age

Speak of his glory and resurrected power

Live for him every day and every hour

Don’t be surprised when the world tells lies

The god of this world has blinded their eyes

Choose your words carefully think what you say

It is not merry Christmas, it is Happy Holidays
