I'll leave you with this Christmas poem. The other night we went to see "The King's Singers," an accapella group from England. They sang a number of Christmas songs, including the modern one below. The text - written by one of the former King's Singers, Philip Lawson - is a beautiful tribute to our Lord and Savior.
You are the new day.
Meekness, love, humility
Come down to us this day:
Christ your birth has proved to me
You are the new day.
Quiet in a stall you lie,
Angels watching in the sky
Whisper to you from on high
'You are the new day':
When our life is darkest night
Hope has burned away;
Love, your ray of guiding light,
Show us the new day.
Love of all things great and small
Leaving none, embracing all,
Fold around me where I fall,
Bring in the new day.
This new day will be
A turning point for everyone.
If we let the Christ-child in, and
Reach for the new day.
Christ the Way, the Truth, the Life;
Healing sadness ending strife;
You are welcome, Lord of life,
Born on a new day.
You are the new day.
