Christmas Will Never Cease To Be

If there were no shining Christmas Lights No Silver Bells or Silent Nights If there were no gifts beneath the tree Would Christmas cease to be? If there was no tasty holiday fare No people gathering here or there If no crowds went from shop to shop Would Christmas simply stop? The answer of course is a resounding no For Christmas came quite long ago Christmas was before the tree Before the gifts for you and me Christmas brought the shepherds and kings The angel songs and the giving of things For one small child was born On that very first Christmas morn He is why the star shone bright On that Midnight Clear and Holy Night The faithful come and He is the reason And now, we gather and worship at this special season So, if there were no shining Christmas Lights No Silver Bells and Silent Nights Still He came - for you and for me And Christmas will never cease to be.
