WHEN THERE ISN'T A CHRISTMAS WELCOME

 

WHEN THERE ISN’T A CHRISTMAS WELCOME

When there isnt a Christmas welcome

When the sleet drives hard

When the porch lights are all off

There are still the stars

There are the wisps of clouds

The moon illuminates

To keep you company

Sojourner, whoever you are

Draw up to your own inner hearth

Close your eyes and memorize

The passages where God says

Truly, He will never leave you.
