Jesus' birthday candles

Matthew 25:31 – 46

 

Cough, Cough, goes the girl

sneeze, wheeze, goes the boy

Stay away, they may be sick

Go away, your no joy

One candle is gone

it has lost it's flick

Because of our fear

we stayed away from the sick

 

Those people got what they deserved

I'm now at peace, I am so glad

For in jail they can rot

'Cause what they did made me so mad

Candle number 2 flickered, then went out

Because of the wind, and it's gail

We were to happy, we were to glad

Instead of bringing God's love to those in jail

 

“I'm hungry, Do you have some food?”

With longing in his eyes, his arm stretched out

“I'm in a hurry, I'm late for church”

“No time to stop, or to give him a handout”

Candle number 3 is no longer burning,

In keeping it lit, we did not succeed

We were in a hurry, had no time to stop,

Even the hungry, we failed to feed

 

With parched lips, and a dry tongue,

She asked for something to drink

“I'm to busy” was the reply

“You have two legs, find the sink”

The fourth candle just died

Because we did not think

We were just to busy

To give a simple little drink

 

Yum, this Christmas meal sure is good

I know that the neighbour is alone this day

But Christmas is for family

Everyone else can stay away

Candle five just lost it's flame

This flaming fire, had been blown

'Cause of our selfishness

Christ's love was not shown

 

They come to you, clothing ripped

from off the street, there in your face

You push them away, for they stink

You run away, 'cause there in your space

The last candle burns no more

Yes, all the candles are out

We didn't help those in need

What Christmas is all about

 

When we bring Jesus His birthday cake

Will it be lit up, and bright

Or when He looks down at His cake

Will it be dark, the absence of light

This Christmas, help those in need

And light those candles with your good deed.

Do you know that Tzu Chi Foundation established by a female monk in Taiwan and operate all over the world ? Churches should learn from them, they repair slum houses, open schools for the poor, hospitals for the poor, social medical treatment, visiting slum houses directly and give them food aid etc. they open their door 24 hours a day and people come visiting them for help which they cannot get elsewhere. The Tzu Chi foundation has no money at all, they are all volunteers.

Female monk? I did not even know it gave such. Any way, that is great what they do, can you imagine the effect of people if we do all that in the Name of Jesus.
