Song Lyrics

---

Does your family need your presents,
Or your presence in their life,
To lead them and to guide them,
And help them when there's strife?
No your family needs your presence,
To hold and be with you,
And not your presents neath their tree,
For they can't comfort when their Blue.

It's not the presents neath your tree,
But God's Presence in your life,
That brings joy and satisfaction,
And keeps you through all strife.
No it's not the presents neath your tree,
That brings true peace and happiness,
But it's God's Presence in your life,
To comfort and to bless.

As you open up your presents,
Is there one you're looking for,
To change your life and transform you,
And touch your heart anew?
Will as I've said it's not your presents,
But God's Presence in your heart,
That'll cleanse away all sin and wrong,
And give you a fresh start.

It's not the presents neath your tree,
But God's Presence in your life,
That brings joy and satisfaction,
And keeps you through all strife.
No it's not the presents neath your tree,
That brings true peace and happiness,
But it's God's Presence in your life,
To comfort and to bless.
