THIS IS CHRISTMAS

THIS IS CHRISTMAS

Sleigh bells chime
in the old town square.
Christmastime
is everywhere.
Candles burning
on the sill.
People smile
and wish us well.

THIS IS CHRISTMAS! THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT,
AS SNOWFLAKES FALL THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
THIS IS CHRISTMAS! THE FAMILY'S HERE,
BRINGING JOY HOME AND GIVING CHEER!

THIS IS CHRISTMAS! WE ALL ADORE!
WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER EVER-MORE!
THIS IS CHRISTMAS! OUR HEARTS ARE NEAR!
FULL OF HOPE OVER THE COMING YEAR!

Children gather
under the tree.
Shaking presents
filled with glee.
Music warbles
from records old.
Snuggled under
blankets cold.

THIS IS CHRISTMAS! THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT,
AS SNOWFLAKES FALL THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.
THIS IS CHRISTMAS! THE FAMILY'S HERE,
BRINGING JOY HOME AND GIVING CHEER!

THIS IS CHRISTMAS! WE ALL ADORE!
WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER EVER-MORE!
THIS IS CHRISTMAS! OUR HEARTS ARE NEAR!
FULL OF HOPE OVER THE COMING YEAR!

THIS IS CHRISTMAS! WITH ALL THAT'S GOOD!
GIVING THANKS FOR FELLOWSHIP AND FOOD!
THIS IS CHRISTMAS! WE'RE ALL SO BLESSED,
GOD'S PEOPLE JOY-FUL IN HIS REST!

THIS IS CHRISTMAS! PURE AND RIGHT!
WITH MIRTH UNDER THE TWINKLING LIGHTS.
THIS IS CHRISTMAS! THE CAROLS SOUND,
PRAISING GOD WITH LOVE THAT'S ALL AROUND!
