My First Christmas in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below. With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear. For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear. But the sounds of music compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have now word to tell you, the joy their voices bring. For it is beyond description, to hear the Angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy dear ones, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift, from my Heavenly home above. I send you each a memory of undying love. After all, love is a gift, more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do, For I can't count the blessings or love He has for you. So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
