Countdown to...?

Countdown to.....

The countdown has started; it comes but once a year

When it’s all done, the tree back in the loft

Trimmings and trapping packed in a box

What will you remember?

Right now at the start, let’s think of the end

Will you say thank you for the gifts that you got?

Will you be grateful for fun and games you had?

Will you appreciate the effort that was made,

To make it special in every way?

Will you look back with regret about the chances you missed?

Will you remember the boy in the manger?

Will he be part of your Christmas this year?

Will he get packed away in a box?

Sealed and forgotten the rest of the year

Right now at the start, let’s think of the end

Let Jesus play his part, to do his work in your heart
