"Christmastime"


Candy canes

Counting days

Kids who still believe

Falling snow

Mistletoe

Trimming the tree

Then laying underneath

The glow of colored strings of lights

Dreaming of Christmas Eve night


Popcorn chains

China plates

The smell of pumpkin pie

Wrapping gifts

Ornaments

Stockings hung high

Baking cookies and reading stories

A different tale each night

Seeing it again through a child's eyes


It's the hope that one day the world will know peace

It's the love that we feel helping others in need

It's the Shepard's who followed a star in the night

All wrapped up in the gift of Christmastime


Holy night

The Gift divine

Unto us has come

A perfect child

The Baby mild

And holding her Son

Mary sings a lullaby as peacefully He sleeps

And she marvels as what this miracle will mean


It's the sound of heaven as angels sing

It's the grace that only the Savior can bring

It's the wisemen who follow Him each day of their lives

All wrapped up in the gift of Christmastime


It's wisemen who follow Him each day of their lives

It's love

And hope

It's joy

And light

It's Christmastime!
