Lyrics
Today's a day of festive cheer,
With friends and fam'ly gathered near,
A time to give, a time to get,
Forgive and to forget,
But now, before this day does end,
Recall your blessings that transend
all the commercial modern drift,
Come receive your gift,
(CHORUS)
Come receive, come receive
the true reason for the season,
Come receive, come receive
the gift of Christ, God's only son,
This gift is not under the tree,
A present that you cannot see,
Yet, earnest hearts cannot deny
it's from our Lord on high,
It has not ribbons, bells or bows,
But, wrapped and tied in swaddling clothes,
With innocence so meek and mild,
Come receive the child,
(CHORUS)
Beyond the holy, misteltoe,
Well past the ornimental show,
The season's spirit perserveres,
Not detered by years,
a presence with an answer true
for every seekers heart to view,
The answer is from God above,
Come receive His love,
(CHORUS)
