A View of Jerusalem

At Christmas time I need
To think of our Lord's day
Of His precious birth I read
All that the scriptures say

I fill my home with music
Decorations and lights
With olive carvings, rustic
A nativity delights

And I long to journey
To the land of our Lord
To see what He did see
His country He adored

But, what I have is a book
From a student with a pen
Who wrote while too she looked
Out upon Jerusalem

What better Christmas gift
Could one buy for the home
Than a book that does lift
Our minds to where Christ did roam
