That Grinch!!!
OH He is at it again!!
First Christmas, now Easter
He tries to do in!
Remember how he tried
To steal boxes and bags
And take all their treats
And presents with tags!
But now he has gone
Just too far indeed
He won’t stop at anything
He only thinks of his greed!
This time he knows
He can’t take all the fun
He has learned that this just isn’t
How it works, how it’s done…
This time, He had learned something
he hadn’t really learned from before
He had learned that Christmas didn’t come
from the gleam of a store.
This time He will take
Something more precious, more dear
Especially since St. Nicolas
Sleeps this time of the year!
So what could he take?
He started to think
Maybe Something lilac he thought
or yellow or pink!!
So He took all their clothes!
Their very Sundiest and best
Then he took all their bonnets
Flower dresses and vests
He laughed and He thought
About a devious plot
He would keep them from meeting
At their Church meeting spot!
Everyone will stay home!
In doubt and in fear!
And I will not have to endure
Their singing this year!
And last but not least,
His last scheme and convection
Would be to steal all the WIFI
And internet connection!
Well they won’t know what hit them!!
They won’t know what to do
They won’t have anyone to preach to them
And they won’t have a clue!!
Easter Day…now had come
There was no one in town
All the people in the city
Were no where to be found
He had done it! He thought They all had to stay in No more talking about Jesus The cross or my sins! No more chatter About love and raising from the grave Jesus being Alive And power to SAVE! He had done it by golly He had fixed it alright He had taken away Their Easter in a one swoop of the night. And thats when it happened He sat straight up on his throne He heard a sound coming from Every house, every home He had heard them sing louder Now even louder than before He puzzled and pondered And he puzzled some more How could it have come? Without dresses, without meetings How could it come without Handshakes and wifi and greetings? But it came just the same As it had come just before Only this time it came Without opening one single door.
See while they were home
They had time to draw in
They thought and they pondered
Their sin from within
They had time to really think About the gift of the cross And time to share Jesus With a few friends who were lost And this Easter in fact Had been more special indeed They had learned to seek God For He is all that they need!
