Lyrics
Let's Keep Christ in Christmas
verse
Tensile hung on evergreens and pine scent fills the air
Pretty lights of red and green, Christmas time is here
Shopping sprees and traffic jams and sometimes tempers flair
But, love prevails with smiles and cheer when the Savior's day is near
Chorus
Let's keep Christ in Christmas
Don't forget His day is near
Think about the Savior's birth, for Christmas time is near
Verse
Pretty gifts with shiny bows, wrapped with loving care
Families sing "let's deck the halls" and bring gifts we can share
Let's not forget the reason for the laughter and the cheer
To celebrate the Savior's birth, for Christmas time is near
Chorus repeat
Bridge
Family prayer on bended knees
To our father who loves and cares
Enough to send his First Born Son
To teach us how to live
Chorus
Let's keep Christ in Christmas
Don't forget his day is near
Think about the Savior's birth
With loved ones we hold dear
WITH LOVED ONES WE HOLD DEAR
