Christ Is ChristmasBy Russell Adams and Steve IsraelCCLI Number: 4213558
Growing up, I remember my Dad being aggravated over the commercialization of
Christmas and the lack of focus our society placed upon Christ being the
only real reason for Christmas. That sentiment is now echoed in me, as with
each passing year I struggle with the same aggravation of a society that
focuses on food, fun and family, and yet ignores the gift of God. The
message of the Gospel is "good news." And that's what Christmas, and this
song, are all about. That God loves us so much, that He gave the greatest
gift of all. I wrote the words in 1992, just a few days before my Dads December 24th
birthday. He really liked the message of the lyrics. Sadly, he passed away
in 1995 and never got to hear this song, he would've liked it. So this one
is for my Dad, call it a birthday present. Merry Christmas to all, and Happy Birthday to Jesus and my Dad.

(Introduction for 9 measures)
(Verse) Lo, in a manger He lay While all around the world He made Stood in awe and so amazed At the gift God gave. King, who was and who is For me and you became a slave, Died and rose up from the grave That you and I might live. (Chorus) Christ is Christmas No greater gift you'll find, Christ is Christmas God's gift to all mankind. (Repeat Verse) Lo, in a manger He lay While all around the world He made Stood in awe and so amazed At the gift God gave. King, who was and who is For me and you became a slave, Died and rose up from the grave That you and I might live. (Repeat Chorus) Christ is Christmas No greater gift you'll find, Christ is Christmas God's gift to all mankind. (Bridge) Though rich or poor No greater gift you'll find Than the gift of God's own Son. The chains of sin, The wrath of death and hell, Through His gift are all undone. (Repeat Chorus 3 times) Christ is Christmas No greater gift you'll find, Christ is Christmas God's gift to all mankind. Christ is Christmas No greater gift you'll find, Christ is Christmas God's gift to all mankind. Christ is Christmas No greater gift you'll find, Christ is Christmas God's gift to all mankind.
