What's special about Christmas?
Why do the church bells ring?
To welcome in our hearts with joy
The birth of Christ our King.
But what's become of Christmas?
Christ do we entertain?
Or have we made His holy birth
A festival for gain?
Self-centred in our outlook,
Our Lord we fail to see,
While celebrating Christmas,
With pomp and gaiety.
God's love came down at Christmas,
In search of you and me,
To save us from the hold of sin
And give us victory.
What can make Christmas special,
And bring true joy and peace?
Submission to the Lord alone,
On humble, thankful knees.
