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.
