KEEP THE CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS

T'S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN
IT’S MY FAVORITE TIME OF ALL
A TIME TO BE KIND TO STRANGERS
AND A TIME WHEN WE RECALL
THE COMING OF OUR SAVIOR
IN A TOWN CALLED BETHLEHEM
AND THE ANGELS SINGING AT HIS BIRTH
NOW WE REJOICE WITH THEM
FOR THEY KNEW FROM THAT FIRST CHRISTMAS DAY
OUR SALVATION LAY IN HIM

SO LET’S KEEP THE CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS
AND LET’S BE OF GOOD CHEER
HIS BIRTH WAS THE BEGINNING
HE IS RISEN, HE IS NEAR
SO LET’S KEEP THE CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS
AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS THROUGH THE YEAR

THE MISTLE TOE, THE CHRISTMAS TREES
THE CAROLS THAT WE SING
THE CHILDREN’S SMILES, THE CROWDED ISLES
THE PRESENTS THAT WE BRING
IN THIS SEASON STARTED LONG AGO
WHEN THREE KIND AND WISE MAJAI
LAID GIFTS BEFORE THE NEW BORN LORD,
BENEATH A STARLIGHT SKY
FOR THEY KNEW FROM THAT FIRST CHRISTMAS DAY
WHAT HE’D DO FOR YOU AND I
SO LET’S KEEP THE CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS
AND LET’S BE OF GOOD CHEER
HIS BIRTH WAS THE BEGINNING
HE IS RISEN, HE IS NEAR
SO LET’S KEEP THE CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS
AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
ALL YEAR
