Let This Christmas Be Different

lyrics

Twas the night before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
The children were asleep
All snug in their beds
With dreams of Christmas morn
Dancing inside their heads
But that first Christmas was much different
No bed or walls in that cattle stall
Just a family of three with no place left to sleep
But on some hay meant for the cows to eat
Such a humble first Christmas
Have we forgotten what is Christmas

The stockings were hung
And the tree was aglow
With ornaments and lights
Tinsel and snow
Everywhere you looked
There were lights all around
There were lights on the roof
There were lights on the ground
But that first Christmas was much different
No lights on the wall in that cattle stall
Just the stars in the sky looking down where He lay
As the little babe lay asleep on the hay
Such a humble first Christmas
Have we forgotten what is Christmas

Carols play on the radio
Jingle Bells, Let It Snow
The house is full
With the scent of a feast
As family and friends
Sit down to eat
But that first Christmas was much different
No family or friends, just some old shepherd men
Who herd some angels sing, Glory to God
For a babe was born who will save you all
Such a humble first Christmas
Have we forgotten what is Christmas

So this Christmas take
Some time in your day
To remember the babe
Asleep in the hay
And how He grew up
To die on a cross
To free you from sin
Yes, He paid all the costs
So let this Christmas be different
Spread the joy of Jesus our Lord
And never forget that babe in the hay
Who grew into a man and death He did slay
Never forget what is Christmas
Never forget what is Christmas
Never forget what is Christmas
