CHANUKAH

 CHANUKAH

The time of year has come again when

We celebrate the Festival of Lights

Exchanging gifts for the eight days

Do we have its full meaning in our sights

For those who may not know its meaning

I’ll explain why it’s called by that name

Judah Maccabee’s army was victorious or

Our people’s live would never be the same

For the victory that God had Provided to us

They burned oil offering at the temple alter

But there was only enough to last one day so

They sent a runner for more so as not to falter

The miracle of this dedication came from God

When the runner returned it had lasted eight days

This miracle can also be used as a time of reflection

For the multitudes of people to change their ways

The main candle or shamas is used to light the others

It’s likened to Yeshua who is the light of the world

Who gave his life so that our sins were forgiven

And a direct path to God’s Kingdom was unfurled

Now that I’ve made you aware of the complete story

Confess your sins and profess Yeshua as your Messiah

The benefits far outweigh any questions in your mind

And your soul will be filed with a burning desire
