The Gift of Christmas

Above the city streets
Church bells are chiming
The lights of red and green
Sparkle in the night
There's a stirring in the air
As people everywhere
Rush home to bring that special thing
To makes their holiday just right

Amidst the joyous sounds of celebration
And decoration wrapped around
This time of year
In the quiet of your heart
A tiny missing part
Comes ringing through, asking you
Where in all the Christmas cheer...

Is Christmas?
Somewhere in it all
There must be Christmas
A moment to rеcall
In all of this
Just waitin' to reveal
Whe wondеr of the season
Deep within you feel
There's got to be a reason for
All the songs that fill the air
And the love you long to share
Christmas must be there

Beneath the Christmas tree
It lies unopened
A gift so small
Overlooked by all but few
Plain and unadorned
With paper frayed and worn
Yet, look again, for wrapped within
You'll find a treasure waits for you

It's Christmas
Right before your eyes
The gift of Christmas
Imagine your surprise
At finding this
The Hope of the world
Lying in a manger
The promise of His love
Offering to change your heart
If you hear a baby's sighs
Look to where He lies
You'll find Christmas in His eyes
The gift of Christmas in His eyes
