Reflection
Song: Christmas Hokey Cokey
In a stable cold,
In a manger bed,
The baby Jesus laid down
His sleepy head.
At Christmas we discover
Just how much God love us all
That’s what it’s all about!
Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus [x3]
That’s what its all about!
Shepherds herd
The angels sing,
They hurried to the stable
To see the new born King.
At Christmas we discover
Just how much God love us all
That’s what it’s all about!
Sheep, shepherds, Baby Jesus [x3]
That’s what it’s all about!
Wise Men came
From countries afar,
Bringing gifts and following a star.
At Christmas we discover
Just how much God love us all
That’s what it’s all about!
Wise Men, camels, Baby Jesus [x3]
That’s what it’s all about!
Jesus came
From heaven above,
Now you know the song
But do you know his love?
At Christmas we discover
Just how much God love us all
That’s what it’s all about!
You, me and Baby Jesus [x3]
That’s what it’s all about!
