The Spirit of Christmas

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS When Thanksgiving Day is finally gone And Autumn's days are rushing on We come to a time when feelings change Even the animals begin to act strange It's a time that's filled with anticipation And the joy of a soon to come celebration A time when hearts are festive and light With beautiful Christmas trees shining so bright A time to remember the birth of a child Born in a stable, so meek and mild Whose birth was foretold by angels in dreams And becomes more wonderful each year, so it seems So if we all take time to recall the reason Why the entire world celebrates this season Then a true Christmas Spirit would surely prevail And the world would be more than willing to tell Of the Christ Child born on this day back then To become a Man who can save us from sin A Man with the gift of Eternal Life To be lived with Him and be free of strife So let the Spirit of Christmas touch you today And spread it to others along your way Then maybe this year the whole world will see The real Spirit of Christmas in you and in me Curtis Moorman Christmas 2000
