This Is Christmas

When the eyes of the world see a child in a manger

When the fear that divides is a quieted voice

When a singular song binds the hearts of the strangers

And nations are gathered as one to rejoice

This is Christmas

This is Christmas

More than a season

More than a feeling

More than the songs we adore

This is Christmas

This is the reason

This is the meaning

Welcoming Jesus the Lord

Let the Earth and the Heavens rejoice

This is Christmas

When the hope that can rescue the lost and the dead

Is allowed for a moment to shine in the dark

When the tired and the hurting are lifting their heads

To be met with a love that can heal every heart

This is Christmas

This is Christmas

More than a season

More than a feeling

More than the songs we adore

This is Christmas

This is the reason

This is the meaning

Welcoming Jesus the Lord

Let the Earth and the Heavens rejoice

This is Christmas

Come adore on bended knee,

Come lift Him high, the lowborn king

Oh praise Him now, as Heaven sings, He is Lord

Come adore on bended knee,

Come lift Him high, the lowborn king

Oh praise Him now, as Heaven sings, He is Lord

Come weary saints,

Come rebel hearts,

Lay down your lives,

Come as you are

Oh praise His name, Emmanuel, He is Lord

This is Christmas

More than a season

More than a feeling

More than the songs we adore

This is Christmas

This is the reason

This is the meaning

Welcoming Jesus the Lord

Let the Earth and the Heavens rejoice

This is Christmas

This is Christmas

More than a season

More than a feeling

More than the songs we adore

This is Christmas

This is the reason

This is the meaning

Welcoming Jesus the Lord

Let the Earth and the Heavens rejoice

Let the Earth and the Heavens rejoice

Let the Earth and the Heavens rejoice

This is Christmas

When the timing was right and the moment had come

When the promises made would be promises kept

When the essence of God would appear flesh and blood

When the light of the world came to breathe His first breath

This is Christmas
