These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Secret Christmas

Secret Christmas, filled with Joy,
hopeful days beginning now.
Saving Lord without alloy.
Come before Him, lowly bow.

Blessed Present, opened Door,
a tree was ne'er adorned so well.
The Light of Life in hues galore.
Red, the blanket, saves from Hell.

Decor of sin there hanging free,
covered by His sinless Grace.
Nevermore need sinners be
punished 'neath great Judgment's Face.

Secret Christmas, saving Lord
started in a manger bed.
"The greatest Present," says His Word
"Salvation's Gift transforms the dead."

Secret Christmas, life anew
saves the souls, that on Him trust.
Secret Christmas bought for you
by One, Whose Grace is pure and just.
