Tv 1T I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, with tiny lights like heavens stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tears, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, Buut the sound of music cant compare With the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away, we really arent apart. So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above, I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is the gift more precious than pure gold, It was always important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do, For I cant count the blessings or love He has for you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tears, '(Twice Presiding, Reverend Dr. George C.
