On Thursday night, i was at a local Christmas carols in the park... and one of the songs they sang was an aussie Christmas carol, it is a bit of a challenge when you listen to the words.... The words are below...
Good old wally king looked out
upon his crop of barley
Bless my soul, blow me down
that looks to me like Charlie
Haven't seen him 'round these parts
many a long year
reckon i might offer him a
Glass of Christmas Cheer.
Agnes put the kettle on
as quick as you are able
Let us make another place
For him at the table
He looks a little worse for wear
His clothes are old and baggy
It's along and weary road
For an honest swaggy*
Mates they've been in years before
Now the two were older
And so we welcomed Charlie in
A hand upon his shoulder
Gladly those three feasted there
And in the warmth of sharing
Christmas season brought again
A time of peace and caring
This Song shows what Christ was all about.... He was about loving and accepting people as a part of His family... Sharing/giving of Himself to see us come to Him and live with Him...
I pray all of you had a ripper Christmas, full boar ripper Christmas, dead set ripper Christmas and a Snappy New Year... (line from the Aussie we wish you a ripper Christmas),
*(for those who don't know, a swaggy is a person who would go from town to town looking for work, and often sleeping rough...)
