WHY?

[Robert Harrison]

WHY?



WHY HAS CHRIST BEEN LEFT OUT OF CHRISTMAS,
WHY IS HE LEFT OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR.
WHY HAS CHRIST BEEN LEFT OUT OF CHRISTMAS
BY THE RICH, BY THE PROUD AND AT TIMES THE POOR.

IT IS NOT AS THOUGH HE HAS HURT ANYONE,
HIS SACRIFICE PROVED THAT YOU MIGHT BRING TO MIND.
SO WHY HAS CHRIST BEEN LEFT OUT OF CHRISTMAS,
IS IT BECAUSE SANTA CLAUSE IS MORE LOVING AND KIND.

I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT EACH CHRISTMAS
WAS SANG OF CHRIST IN CHURCHES ALL OVER TOWN.
BUT NOW HE SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN,
THE CHRIST CHILD WRAPPED IN A SWADDLING GOWN.

WHAT HAS CHRIST DONE TO DESERVE THIS,
HOW EASILY WE SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN
THAT KINGS AND SHEPHEARDS DID PRAIZE HIM
WHOME GOD SENT TO EARTH AS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN.

IT IS NOT ONLY HEATHENS THAT SHUN HIM,
FOR MANY PROFESSED CHRISTIANS DO TO.
SO WHO IS TO BLAME FOR LEAVING OUT JESUS,
OH! MY GOODNESS, I HOPE IT IS NOT ME, NOR YOU.
