How well do we know Christmas
Can we feel Jesus in our heart?
Is presents the only reason
We have joy all that season

It’s really looking like winter again
As I decorate the tree
The owner of this season
Has come to live in me

I sing a little song
As the shiny things go on
“Oh Dear Sweet Baby Jesus
It’s your birthday again
Happy birthday Jesus
Oh how you make my heart sing”

Jesus, let me continue to praise you
After this season passes by
Let me stay in love with you forever and always
Never let me forget about
The love you gave on Christmas day

But most of all My Savior
Let me not forget
The blood you shed on Calvarys tree
you shed for everyone
Even a sinner such as me

I will forever praise your name
This joy I feel is not a game
Let me teach the children
That your dying was all their gain

We must teach the children
That the baby in that manger
Walked up Calvary hill
His blood forever cleansing
And it always will.
