Living Fire - Let's Celebrate Christmas

I used to be a real scrouge, getting all worked up about yule tide
Christmas isn't about the tree, christmas
Isn't about friends & family
Christmas is only about Jesus christ'
Trying to run away from the holidays
I never had a clue that I was running so far offside

Christmas is about christ, every tradition that we share
December twenty fifth, fir trees and gifts to say we care
Pointing us to the God who's really there

Let's celebrate christmas!
God's love made manifest from above
Let's celebrate christmas!
Precious moments reflecting on this love

Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of david a saviour, who is christ the lord. And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men"

I used to shout out loud, 'consumerism' over and over again
The season has lost all meaning and become fully pagan
But now I've learned that we can reclaim every festivity
Gift's of the christ child, redeemed and pointing to the nativity

Christmas is about christ, every tradition that we share
December twenty fifth, fir trees and gifts to say we care
Pointing us to the God who's really there

Let's celebrate christmas!
God's love made manifest from above
Let's celebrate christmas!
Precious moments reflecting on this love

There is a God and he is there
He wants you to know that he cares
He sent his son to live as man
Revealing Jesus, his only son
While we still sin, he becons us in
Love shown to us upon a cross
My friend you should know that he really does love us

Christmas is about christ, every tradition that we share
December twenty fifth, fir trees and gifts to say we care
Pointing us to the God who's really there

Let's celebrate christmas! God's love made manifest from above
Let's celebrate christmas! Precious moments reflecting on this love
