The Greatest Gift
What does Christmas mean to you
What has this holiday become?
A time of toys
For girls and boys
And endless bills for dad and mum?
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas
Without Him it just wouldn’t be
The Infant born in a stable
God gave to you and me!
What does Christmas mean to you
Whose purpose does it serve?
A time to shop
Until you drop
And buy what you’re told you deserve?
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas
Without Him it just wouldn’t be
The Son of God incarnate
Who came to set us free!
What does Christmas mean to you
What is this season all about?
A time to indulge
That yuletide bulge
And then let it all hang out?
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas
Without Him it just wouldn’t be
The Saviour who atoned for sin
When He hung on Calvary!
What does Christmas mean to you
Who is it you adore?
Does Santa Claus
Deserve the applause
For giving you more and more?
Let’s put Christ back into Christmas
Without Him it just wouldn’t be
The Messiah who conquered death and hell
And rose in victory!
What does Christmas mean to you
Why is it you remember?
With festive cheer
This time each year
The 25th day of December?
So let’s not forget this Christmas
The reason why we give
For Jesus Christ was given to men
And died so we might live.
So let’s not forget each Christmas
Christ, crucified for you and me
The Greatest Gift God ever gave
His only Son, He sent to save
Who bore our sins and burst the grave
And reigns eternally!
ChriSouth.
