A Christmas Poem

The following is a poem Dale learned when he was about 10 years old:

His Name At The Top

I had the nicest Christmas list
The longest one in town
Till daddy looked at it and said
You'll have to cut it down.


I knew that what he said was true
Beyond the faintest doubt
But was amazed to hear him say
You've left your best Friend out.

And so I scanned my list again
And said, O that's not true
But daddy said, His name's not there
That Friend Who died for you.

And then I clearly understood
Twas Jesus that he meant
To Him Who should come first of all
I hadn't planned a cent.

I'd made a Christmas birthday list
And left the Savior out
But, O, it didn't take me long
To change that list about.

And tho I've had to drop some names
Of folks I like a lot
My Lord must have the most
Because His name is at the top.
