Lyrics
THE FIRST WORD IN CHRISTMAS ( IS CHRIST )
Bruce Danna
Have we forgotten the meaning behind
All of the joy that surrounds Christmas time?
And will we remember what its all about
When the parties are over and the lights have gone out?
(chorus)
The first word for children is 'toys'
For Mom, it's 'preparing the food we'll enjoy'
The first word for Dad is to 'hang up the lights'
But the first word in Christmas,... is Christ
The name of old Santa has slowly replaced
the name of our Savior.. it was slowly erased. (reference to 'XMAS')
Can you recall in the back of your mind
A scene from a manger and a star that did shine?
Chorus
The birth of our Savior had finally come
When Almighty Father sent down his own Son
To live and to die and to rise up again
To bring us salvation and life with no end
But,.... Chorus
