| The Gospel Tree There once was a shining Christmas tree Standing out where all could see. Its brilliance captured every eye And seemed to cheer each passer-by. |
| "The lights are so bright", they would say And hesitate to walk away. The tree stood proud ablaze with light For every light was burning bright. |
| Then one bulb was heard to say "I'm tired of burning night and day; I think I'll just go out and rest For I'm too tired to do my best; Besides, I am so very small I doubt if I'd be missed at all." |
|
Then a child lovingly touched the light "Look,mother, this one shines so very bright. I think of all the lights upon the tree This one looks the best to me."
|
|
"Oh my goodness," said the light "I almost dimmed right out of sight. I thought perhaps no one would care If I failed to shine my share." With that a glorious brilliance came For every light had felt-the same. |
| Our Gospel, like this Christmas tree With little lights which are you and me We each have a space that we must fill With love, and lessons and good will. Let's keep our tree ablaze with light With testimonies burning bright. |
|
For our Gospel is a living tree That lights the way to eternity |
