Christmas is a time for giving.
A time for joy.
A time for living.
Christmas is a time for meeting.
A time for friendships.
A time for greeting.
Christmas is a time for emotion.
A time for remembrance.
A time for devotion.
Christmas is a time in history.
A time written down
For eternity
Christmas is a time to see a boy.
A time of birth.
A time of joy.
Christmas is a time of our Father's giving.
A time of love.
A time of living.
Christmas is a time for praising,
Of angels' songs -
Hallelujahs raising
Christmas is a time for thought
Of the Gift God gives
Which can't be bought.
Christmas is a time to receive
The gift of life
Only God can give.
Christmas is a time which leads
To a certain place
Called Calvary.
If it wasn't for that time in history,
There would be no gifts,
No lit up tree,
No children singing
Christmas songs,
No Man who came
To right our wrongs
Let us remember this Christmas time
That Jesus came
To make Him mine,
He lived a life
We could never live,
To offer a gift
No one else could give.
