Your Christmas Treat

From: Ahrend R. Walters & His Critter Friends
December 2007

From this farm in the country Quite near to their plastic We write to you now To share at this Christmas The sweetness of love And how lowly He laid Our Hope our Life He given by God Taste Him at now He beaten and bruised He's waiting at here For all in this slice

where rest many holes muddy feed bowls my critters and I through freshly baked pie remember His birth in a manger on earth our Shepherd and Friend to save us from sin the sweetness of love He mocked and shoved so pleasantly sweet Your Christmas Treat

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
