Christmas Time 2001
EVERYONE IS SO BUSY GOING FROM STORE TO STORE
FINDING THE RIGHT GIFT THAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL ADORE
FLASHING LIGHTS EVERYWHERE AND TWINKLING BELLS YOU HEAR
CHRISTMAS CAROLS ARE BEING PLAYED IN STORES FAR AND NEAR
YOU SEE PEOPLE WITH FULL SHOPPING BAGS AND PACKAGES GALORE
GAZING AT THE WINDOWS IN ALMOST EVERY STORE
THEY HURRY HOME WITH TREASURES TO BE WRAPPED & PUT AWAY
UNTIL THEY ARE PUT UNDER THE TREE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS DAY
BUT LET US NOT FORGET WHY WE CELEBRATE THIS DAY
THE DAY THAT OUR REDEEMER WAS CRADLED IN THE HAY
THE SHEPHERDS AND THE WISE MEN WHO CAME THAT DAY TO SEE
THE STAR THAT HAD LED THEM, AS THEY GAZED ON BENDED KNEE
THIS TINY LITTLE BABY THAT WAS BORN TO SET US FREE
WAS BORN IN A MANAGER, NOT A PALACE YOU SEE
THE HEAVEN'S OPENED WIDE AND THE ANGELS SANG HIS PRAISE
PEACE ON EARTH, GOODWILL TO MEN AS YOU TRAVEL ON YOUR WAY
NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
MORE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO REALIZE THEY NEED GOD'S SON
SO DON'T FORGET THE REAL MEANING AS YOU CELEBRATE THIS DAY
AND ALWAYS FIND THE TIME EACH DAY TO TURN TO HIM AND PRAY
