I
IT WAS NOT A TIME FOR GLOOM
EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ROOM.
FOR FROM OUT OF MARY'S WOMB
CAME THE SAVIOUR FROM ALL DOOM.
IT WAS NOT A TIME TO CRY
IN A MANGER THOUGH HE LIE.
EVEN IF HE CAME TO DIE
HE CAME LOW TO LIFT US HIGH.
CHORUS
CHRISTMAS IS A TIME FOR PRAISING
AND NOT A TIME TO FROWN.
THERE IS NO TIME MORE AMAZING
FOR GOD TO EARTH CAME DOWN.
II
IT WAS NOT A TIME TO GROAN
THOUGH HE HAD TO LEAVE HIS THRONE,
HE TO US GOD'S LOVE HAS SHOWN
AND FOR ALL SIN DID ATONE.
IT WAS NOT A TIME TO FEAR
EVEN THOUGH TIMES WERE SEVERE
THIS CHILD WOULD SO PERSEVERE
HE'D HAVE LIFE'S GREATEST CAREER.
III
IT WAS NOT A TIME TO QUIT
THOUGH HEROD JUST HAD A FIT.
AND HIS PARENTS HAD TO SPLIT
ALL MANKIND DID BENEFIT.
IT WAS NOT A TIME TO FAIL
THOUGH GREAT EVIL FORCE ASSAIL.
FOR AT THE END OF THIS TALE
BABY JESUS DID PREVAIL.
IV
IT WAS NOT A TIME TO BLAME
THOUGH THE SETTING WAS A SHAME
SHEPHERDS TO THAT MANGER CAME
TO EXALT THE BABY'S NAME.
IT WAS NOT A TIME TO DOUBT
THOUGH THEY HAD TO DO WITHOUT.
IN FAITH THEY REMAINED DEVOUT
AND DID JOIN IN THIS GREAT SHOUT.
CHORUS
CHRISTMAS IS A TIME FOR PRAISING
AND NOT A TIME TO FROWN.
THERE IS NO TIME MORE AMAZING
FOR GOD TO EARTH CAME DOWN.
