Christmas is life,
with a spirit of giving,
to realize that life is worth all the living,
with a heart so pure,
‘Cause Jesus came to earth with His heavenly cure,
to tame the world into submission,
and bless the people that would carry on His mission,
who touch and bless the heart of man,
Christ holds out His nail pierced hand,
to lead and guide, 
help us understand.
How God is love,
this love found in His Son,
the only begotten of the One,
God is the architect of the Master plan from the start.
So as we settle down with the one’s we love with a caring heart,
let us not forget God up above,
Who made Christmas possible with much love,
and gave it a spark,
now men could choose to come out of the dark,
and follow the Star of Bethlehem,
wise men praise the Saviour with the rest of them,
and bless and proclaim His mighty name,
directing everyone to the manger,
keeping their souls from much danger,
now we are a stranger here,
Children of Light with Jesus near,
a new heart given,
for Holy living,
to keep us free from all the strife,
and bring us everlasting life.
