A poem for Christmas

This is a poem by my friend Lydia, who is 11. She is a Kiwi, but was born in Burkina Faso. Great stuff.

Christmas is a time of peace,
Where happiness and laughter does not cease
God's Son, Jesus, was born that night,
And to the world he brought us light.
He died on the cross to take away our sin,
So a new life we could begin.
He rose and lives today,
And very soon he'll come back our way.
Worship him, and live always
Singing songs and giving him praise.
So be a disciple and spread the news,
You've got lots to gain and nothing to lose.
Go to church and pray every day.
Read the Bible, and don't go astray.
Eternity is better than anything you've got.
All your good deeds will not be forgot!!!

The End
