T'was the night before finalization
and all through the house,
all my babies were sleeping sound as a mouse.
The sweaters were laid on the bunk bed with care,
In hopes that they'd be worn without complaints or glares.
Then the big morn arrived and with it much glee,
as we drove to the courthouse for the adoption decree!
The judge, with a smile, announced to the hall:
This boy is a Lewis now, once and for all!
He signed the magic paper and closed the magic book.
And out into the snow, with smiles, our new son we took.
This precious gift we've prayed for, God graciously did give.
Now our darling little Levi we're giving back to Him.
We promise, Lord, to raise him in the path of knowing You,
And teach him the beauty of Your word, that in his life You may shine through.
There's no better present then a blessed son at last,
One given to us in adoption today, One in a manger in the past.
So merry Christmas everyone, let your hearts be light!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
