The presents surrounded our Christmas tree

While the stockings hung so heavily

Oh, what joy and fun to be had Christmas morn

But did we forget in Whom was born

Distracted by presents its hard not to be

Though did we forget the nativity

For away in a manger, there He laid

Salvation arrived on that first Christmas day

The greatest gift to have ever received

Was the gift that we all would need

Shopping stores sales all went up galore

While people shouted for more, for more

Trying to replace what’s already been done

The greatest gift of God’s only Son

No amount of presents or money can by

No matter how much, though many do try

To make Christmas something it’s not

The world forgets what it’s been taught

It’s not about presents that sit under a tree

It’s a gift of salvation offered to you and to me

Presents are a blessing on Christmas morn

But the greatest of all is that Christ was born

Christ is born!!

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
