A day after Christmas

A day after Christmas

A day after Christmas

This is the tale of a day after
the next day after Christmas
Shall I talk about the herald 
of my Lord Jesus, born among the lowly
Who came for the unworthy 
bringing good tidings of love
A love so grand.

Shall I talk about the Yuletide  
beaming with the light of the world
bearing the memories from yesterday
the testaments of our Lord’s faithfulness and 
the ornaments of His favors
A favor so wondrous.

The taste of the leftovers
the remnants of the boxed presents
the silent morning of bliss
for this joyful mother 
as she recounts the past from the present. 

The miracle of Christmas in my time
trails the advent of Jesus Christ
the majestic King who chose meekness
the beloved Son of the Trinity 
the Alpha of redemption
the Omega of salvation 
Who's prepared a place of rest
for the coming day after eternity
to transform a wretched like me
into a friend and a joint-heir
This is the tale of a day after Christmas.
