Christmas Forever and Ever, Amen (edited re-post)

They can ban Him from the shopping malls

From politics and schools

They can clamor for free speech

Saying He goes against its rules

While they tout acclamations

In an effort to destroy

I simply want to tell them

They can never steal our Joy

They can say it’s just a story

‘Bout an ordinary man

Jesus didn’t come from glory

To fulfill salvation’s plan

And while they pile, compile their lies

As in darkness they grope

I’d simply like to tell them

They can never steal our Hope

I AM is not some common thing

Mortal can over-throw

He cannot be abolished

Just because some say it’s so

I AM abides; His power reigns

Beneath, around, above

In spite of desperate disclaims

They cannot steal His Love

They can’t take Christ from Christmas

Laws, ramparts won’t keep Him out

They cannot banish Jesus Christ

Though loud they scream and shout

I AM prevails; no law detains

What His Spirit imparts

Joy, Hope and Love ever remains

In true believers hearts

...for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory

Forever and ever,

Amen
