Blue, Green, Red and Purple: Christmas Psalm
Betty Collins provides the very words that are needed on this special day.
Let us give praise unto the Lord: for He has given us Christmas:
The cities of the world light up: in every Church and Storefront
His glories shine forth: and His light sparkles in the eyes of Children.
Preserve us, O Lord, from the views of the Jaundiced: conserve our Happiness,
That we shall not believe that all is rank commercialism: nor that it is the Evil One that prevails upon us to buy, buy; and to spend, spend, spend:
Let us have the kind of Insight which sees only the Upside: that it is the Living Good,
And only the Good which draws thy servants together at this time: that leads us to Give; to come forth and sing:
That causes us to look upon all that is Happiness, to make great Feasts,
To come together, to make new Covenants: even though these Covenants may last only until the second of January:
My soul Binges on the Syrup and Heady wine of Love: I stagger before the Light of the Christmas Tree: I forget the shadows of the Bushes.
Yea, my ears are Open only to all that is Joyous; my tongue to all that is Sweet and Rich:
Let the Lord of Glory open my eyes not only to the Evil of the Best of us: but also to the holiness of the Worst of us, and also indeed to the Blessedness of the Infidel, who is also thy Creation and thy Blessed Child;
For Thine is the Kingdom to which I would want to belong for ever:
Amen.
*
HAVE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
