(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!!
