Christmas
There's a time each year when every heart is filled with wondrous joy
When magic reaches o'er the earth and finds each girl and boy
Sparkling lights and silver bells bring happiness to all
And candle lights burn brightly as the snow begins to fall
Loved ones come together at this special time of year
To be with one another and to share the yuletide cheer
It's at this time when all mankind remembers a far-off land
When a special gift was given by a Father's loving hand
T'was then that baby Jesus came to pardon us from sin
He was born within a manger, in a barn next to an Inn
A shining star led Wise men to the place where Jesus lay
And they placed their gifts of treasure by the baby in the hay
The angels spoke to shepherds as they watched o'er all their sheep
And the star showed them the way to where the baby was asleep
They came to honor Jesus in his lowly bed of straw
And the angels sang his praises as the shepherds watched in awe
And so it is on Christmas day this wondrous story's told
To warm the hearts of children and adults both young and old
So keep this joyous feeling in your hearts throughout the year
And whisper "Happy Birthday" to our savior sweet and dear.
