This Christmas Will Be A Joyful One

Well here we go again my dear

Another Christmas Day of cheer

Living back in our old stomping ground

Makes you very grateful for whom are around

I never meant to jolt out of Philly years ago

I was just in so much pain; pain you'll never know

My intentions truly were to stay in Minneapolis forever

I just didn't realize my body couldn't take the cold ever

So then we took off for Florida a place I never desired

I did it for you and Tory; even though now want to set it on fire 

There were such beautiful days but with my pain I was unable to play

But darling with you around and near you bring out beauty every day

Thru all those states of pain I am so glad to be "Home"

Being so sick everywhere else you just feel so "alone"

But thankfully you've always been there for me

Like a monkey you helped set me free

Free of pain, free of sadness, free of madness

You helped save my life and faith in faith-filledness

Just in time for my birthday, more in time for HIS

Christ is our center our reason we still live

This Christmas will be a joyful one

So much good came out and it's never done

We all just need to love each other endlessly

In thanks to Christ in what He made be

I am grateful to Him daily for Tory, you, and Troy in our home

With the love we all have there is no room to moan

Our extended families our great and with all are so blessed

God sure knew what He was doing, this was no test

But my love for you Christian remains on hot fire

You are so loving, so dear, my every desire

His plans for us were beautiful, plans are so great

Every Christmas I love to tell you in our house there is no hate

You are my air, you and my life, and yes you kept me alive

With God healing me, making me well I am learning to strive

Strive to become more of who He planned me to be

Praise Him more for who He has given to me

It is His birthday yet Christ keeps on giving

He gives out of true love to keep up all living

Living in life, living for Him, placing Him first above it all

Our Creator, Savior, loved one best friend who won't let us fall

I am gracious for every moment I learned and accepted Him

Cause God only knows where we'd still be if I was still dim

Your love helped me search and your love helped me find

I was willing to do anything for you-even seek your kind

You were so much worth it precious dear one

But Christ was most worth it; to Him I'd run

I am so grateful this Christmas Day

All in our home are willing to Pray

Christ gave me the best gifts of all in life

You my love, my baby Tory cause me no strife

This Christmas like all, I love you all forever and more

You are all so special thru Christ, red wine you must pour

In remembrance of Christ who saved us from ourselves

In remembrance of our God we do not place on a shelf

For our precious God who Died for us to live

For dear Jesus whose life He chose for us to give

I love you Jesus for all You have done, all that You do

I praise You for a man like mine that came straight from You

Thank you for my birthdate, many reasons to celebrate

If gift less I am fine-all we need is our God that's great

Thank you so much Christian for seeing me thru so much this year

You have no idea what is was like to come alive to you my dear

You helped change a lot of me precious, this is a fact

Not a moment am I going to focus back!

I love you so much Jesus, Christian, Tory, Troy

Happy Birthday Jesus

Merry Christmas Christian
