This Is Christmas

This Is Christmas
By David Lubben and Jon Micah Sumrall

Do you find it hard to sleep tonight,
Resting by the Christmas lights?
Could there be something you forgot?
Beyond the bows and mistletoe,
The tree with presents wrapped below,
It's more to this that you had ever thought?

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas?
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.
What is Christmas without Christ?

Remember how the story goes,
God's gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes,
Beneath the star, one great and holy night.
The shepherds heard the angels sing,
The wise men brought an offering,
Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem.

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas?
If it never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.
What is Christmas without Christ?

What is Christmas?
If the angels never sang 'Glory to the newborn king?'
What is Christmas without Christ?

There'd be no Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo

What is Christmas?
If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.
What is Christmas without Christ?
This is Christmas,
It's all about a Savior wrapped in a manger.
This is Christmas,
Because of Jesus Christ!
This is Christmas,
Because of Christ!
Because of Christ!

I love this song and the simple truth behind it Without Christ, there is no reason to celebrate. He is the only reason for this Christmas season. Before you get too caught up in the preparations, stress, and business, reflect on the whole meaning and reason behind it.

"This is Christmas, because of Jesus Christ!"
