Christmas Quest
Oh where can I find him?
It’s now Christmas Day.
It seems that we’ve lost him
Somewhere on the way.
I thought we might find him
At shops in the mall,
Or at Christmas parties,
But few signs at all.
I can’t see him hiding
There under the tree,
Amongst all the gifts
For my family and me!
When we sang all the carols
We called out his name,
But soon we forgot
Why it was that he came:
For he lived here among us
To teach and to guide
And to pay for our wrongs
Through the death that he died.
This Jesus now lives,
So the gospels declare.
Young and old who still seek him
Find this Saviour’s right there.
