I'm
your Christmas tree all brightly lit Hung
with angels colored balls, and
elves Underneath my boughs your presents
sit If you've behaved yourselves.
Why
must we wait till early Christmas morn To
open up our brand new games and toys Why
gifts for us the day that Christ was born If
we're good girls and boys
Now
listen to your Christmas tree I'm wise In all
the ways of faith that you must know I'm here
because of what I symbolize Green through ice
and snow
There is a world beyond what we
can see Where, by grace of God, we can
receive God's greatest gift: to live
eternally If only we believe
Eternal life is what God gave to
you In sending down His son to live on
Earth This was His gift so Santa brings gifts
too To celebrate Christ's birth
The baby
Jesus got gifts on this day Because like any
child he loved to play And so God wants to
share this special joy With every girl and boy
Believe God loves you as your parents
do And takes great joy in giving gifts to
you Live well and love, and evergreen like
me You'll live eternally
