Come Sense Christmas

While crisp air we breathe
December appears
And those fair believe
And sing of what nears

Midst music and lights
The nights feel cozy
As Christ's love ignites
A warmth that's rosy

And this warmth more blooms
As to homes we give
Spices and perfumes
To sense and to live

May we breathe the air
And think of Christ's birth
And be more aware
Of joy here on earth

The sights, sounds, and scents
Sweetly descended
For the babe to sense
God's love extended

The babe received gifts
That were fit for kings
While to sleep he drifts
As His mother sings

So fill your senses
With scents of candles
And meals with spices
Midst the songs of Handel's

For life's made of such
Come see, smell, and hear
Come sense what does touch
And know Christmas is here

And, then might we share
The joy in living
And be more aware
Of what life is giving
