ChristmasJoy

When you take "Christ out of x-mas
The true meaning's not quite clear.
It's something much more wonderful
To celebrate each year.

It's not about St. Nicholas
Who brings joy to girls and boys
Who lands upon our rooftops
With a sackful filled with toys;

Or decorated Chritmas trees,
Lit houses on the streets,
The gathered crowds in shopping malls,
Or baking special treats.

The true meaning of "Christ"mas day
Needs little preparation
Which seems to have just faded now
All across our nation.

This day is Christ, our Savior's birth~
God's One and only Son,
A gift God lovingly give to us
So redemption could be won!

A special gift, this Jesus,
That God gave to you and me,
Who took upon Him all our sin
When nailed upon that tree.

This "Christ"mas tree reminds us now
A Savior once was born.
So as you gather 'round yours
On this very special morn,

Join hands and say a special prayer
To thank God up above,
For giving us His precious Son~
A gift of eternal love.
