Let Love Be the Gift

In the land that is walking in darkness and fear A light is arising Christmas time is near The joy of all creation The hope we've waited for A baby in a manger The king of kings is born Rise and shine Glory on high So let love be the gift we find under the tree There's a new life to live A treasure to keep Goodbye to old times Goodbye to tears May the good lord bless and keep you Merry Christmas and happy new year Be on the lookout for Jesus Search for the signs The silent find their voices The blind will find their sight The smallest and oppressed Are given success There is freedom for the captive And the weary find rest Rise and shine Glory on high Let love be the gift we find under the tree There's a new life to live A treasure to keep Goodbye to old times Goodbye to tears May the good lord bless and keep you Merry Christmas and happy new year Whenever you meet someone broken and weak Just call him your brother Care for one another The mystery of it all is coming to life Be still and realize It's right there before your eyes The miracle of Christmas is still alive The miracle of Christmas Jesus is alive So let love be the gift we find under the tree There's a new life to live A treasure to keep Goodbye to old times Goodbye to tears May the good lord bless and keep you Merry Christmas and happy new year Let love be the gift
