A Fathers Wish At Christmas by Charles Allen York

A Fathers Wish at Christmas
On December 25th a story you will tell
Of the baby born in a manger, one we know so well
Presents will abound under a decorated tree
I ask for only one gift, Remember Me

Before I was born, my future foretold
Of great deeds and miracles, and the salvation I hold
O'er 2000 years have passed of this celebrated day
Forget not my gift, or the price I did pay

The angels wailed loudly, my Father did weep
For by the hands of His own creation, My destiny, I did meet
So on this day of celebration, hold its meaning true
I was born just to die, simply because, I Love You

As you unwrap your presents, and your hearts fill with glee
I ask you set aside a simple moment, just to Remember Me
