(This wonderful poem can be sung to
        the tune, "I Believe.")



        I Believe that Jesus is the reason why
        There’s Christmas Day.
        I Believe the infant Child of Mighty God
        Lay on the hay.

        I Believe that shepherds saw,
        up in the sky,
        The Heavenly Host ~
        To praise Him high.

        I Believe! I Believe!

        I Believe the eastern wise men traced a star
        And bowed their knees.
        And, I know that, in her heart,
        His mother knew
        He would be King!

        Time was split, a plan engaged
        designed to bring
        The heart of man
        To God again,

        With upraised hands. I Believe!

        Every time I see the scenes
        of Christmas Day
        Or hear the songs,
        I know the Way
        Lies in the Child of Christmas Day!

        I Believe!! I Believe!!
