Lyrics

(Introduction)

Christmas is your birthday Lord,
Jesus, Son of God.
You were born in Bethlehem,
as God's gift to man.
Lord we celebrate on earth,
Your glorious virgin birth.
You we honour and adore,
now and evermore.

How we wish the world would see,
that this special day,
centers, Jesus Lord, on Thee,
not Santa Claus or me!
Not on decorated trees,
or fancy shopping sprees,
But on Thee, the Son of God,
Jesus Christ the Lord.
But on Thee, the Son of God,
Jesus Christ the Lord.

For, two thousand years ago,
God to us did show.
He so loved the world he gave
His Son to us save.
All those who in Christ believe,
will from Him receive,
the gift of life eternally,
with Him always be.

How we wish the world would see,
that this special day,
centers, Jesus Lord, on Thee,
not Santa Claus or me!
Not on decorated trees,
or fancy shopping sprees,
But on Thee, the Son of God,
Jesus Christ the Lord.
But on Thee, the Son of God,
Jesus Christ the Lord.
But on Thee, the Son of God,
Jesus Christ the Lord.
