I walk through the city and see the lights
Red, green and blue, they shine so bright
Each house is lit up in the night
All because of Christmas
Merchants are smiling as people pay
For merchandise they bought that day
They smile as people shop and play
All because of Christmas
Churches are bustling with holiday fare
Candies and cookies abundant are there
The choirs are singing their songs of cheer
All because of Christmas
Families will gather from miles away
Have not been together for many a day
They get along fine and then go their way
All because of Christmas
But Christmas is more than shopping and food
More than the lights or family viewed
Christmas is when a baby was born
A long, long time ago
He was born in a stable that Holy night
Above shone a star of incredible light
Angels announced His birth that day
A long, long time ago
He did not come a good life to live
He came to die and to pardon our sin
Now we are free from guilt and shame
And live forever with Him
This Christmas you can enjoy the lights
The food and the family and presents all right
But please don’t forget that babe long ago
Who gave His life just for you
