Season of Love
by Job Conger
It’s a time and a season
People go into hock
Buying presents for others
And enduring the schlock:
The retail over-selling
As we push and we shove.
It’s a shame we forget that
It’s a season of love.
From a brother to sister,
From a mom to a dad,
Like a breath to revive us
In a time that’s gone bad.
Let’s remember the reason
For the way that it’s done
As a god up in heaven
Gave us His only son.
Though the shiny wrapped present
Isn’t myrhh or fine gold,
We remember the reason
That the scriptures have told
Why we give unto others
As He gave from above.
I will follow the wise men
In a season of love.
(refrain) Though Emmanuel’s coming
Seems removed from today,.
We rejoice in remembering
ForHe showed us the way.
It’s the way to forgiveness
In the gifts that we bring
And the heavens’ assurance
In the songs that we sing.
All to say that I love you,
Like our father above.
And I follow the Father
In a season of love.
