Twill soon be Christmas, that time of year,
When many souls feel the Savior draw near.

He came as a baby to banish all fear,
The shepherds in fields were the first to hear.

An angel appeared in a brilliant white light,
Giving shepherds with sheep a terrible fright.

But he told them, "Please do not fear,
For I have wonderful news God wants you to hear.

For this very night in a stable near by,
A Savior is born, and this is why,

He will save the people from their sin.
Tonight His life on earth will begin."

Then more angels appeared and they all sang again,
"Peace on earth and good will to men."

Then the angels went away and the shepherds made haste,
To see this wondrous thing that had just taken place.

To a tiny stable they ran quickly to see,
A baby in hay and fell to their knees.

They worshiped the child they found lying there,
Who would take on himself every care.

Then in the East a huge star appeared in the sky,
And hundreds of wise men pondered why.

They knew only one reason to see such a thing,
Somewhere there had been born a very great King.

So they packed up their camels and with family,
They started the long trek this King for to see.

They followed the star to a house with a child,
They worshiped with gifts and the little King smiled.

This King that was born in ancient of days,
That angels and shepherds and wise men praised,

He still lives today for me and for you,
And today He can be your Savior too.

Every year we celebrate the day He was born,
For the good and bad, the rich or forlorn.

So this Christmas, please give Him a gift,
Give Him your heart and your focus will shift.

Peace on earth your heart will sing,
And in heaven today Hallelujahs will ring.
