Story Behind The Song
During the holidays in 1997 I was thinking about all the "stuff" that goes on at Christmas and thought that if Jesus never came, there would be no reason to celebrate.
Song Description
The greatest gift to celebrate at Chistmas is the redemption we have received through the birth of Jesus.

Lyrics
What Would Christmas Be?
Verse 1
What would Christmas be?
Without the star for all to see
To shine the light of Jesus? Holy birth
Could Christmas be the same?
Without angels to proclaim
?In Bethlehem today God came to earth.?
He is God with us, Emmanuel
Blessed Redeemer the Living Word for us to tell
Chorus
What would Christmas be?
What would Christmas be?
Without the greatest gift of all,
A life redeemed, set free.
What would Christmas be?
What would Christmas be?
Without the joy of knowing,
That His Spirit dwells in me.
Verse 2
What would Christmas be?
Without our precious Prince of Peace
The world was changed that long-awaited morn
The Christmas bells now ring
To celebrate our King
Hallelujah! Rejoice! A Savior is born!
He is God with us, Emmanuel
Blessed Redeemer the Living Word for us to tell
Chorus
Round
Jesus, Savior the greatest gift of all
A life redeemed, set free
Blessed Redeemer, the joy of knowing that His Spirit dwells in me
