Christmas Music

Traditional Format Compassion’s finger strums another note, he listens as the angels start to sing, recalling lines from what apostles wrote, indwells the spirit held by Heaven’s king. Succinctly spoken leaving soul in tune, the gifts we need are never under trees, mosaic mustard seeds lit by the moon, aspires our gaze and prayers on bending knees. Submits himself to love and sounds of grace, mistrust no longer drowns and mutes his heart, united song with Christ, him to erase so many sins in mercy to impart. In essence, life and hope beyond today. Contrasts the world, as it dissolves away. ------------------------------------------------------- Acrostic Format Compassion’s finger strums another note, He listens as the angels start to sing, Recalling lines from what apostles wrote, Indwells the spirit held by Heaven’s king.
