Thank you, dear God,
for Christmas,
The day on which Jesus came.
What a precious baby
What a lovely name.
We love the baby
in the manger,
The One the
shepherds adored,
The one later worshiped
by the wise men,
The One by Herod abhorred.
We now know all of the story,
How Christ to manhood grew
How he lived a sinless life,
And how he died
for me and for you.
It took a sacrifice so perfect,
To pay for our sins
don't you see,
Therefore God
sent His only son,
Jesus, Mankind's
atonement to be.
Thank you, dear God,
for Christmas
And for the time Jesus
spent on the Earth,
For all that He taught us
and all that he was,
And for providing for
our second birth.
There's no way we
can ever repay You,
There's no reason
for us to try.
We thank You
for Baby Jesus,
Who as a grown-up
for us did die.
We're so thankful that
through your power
Jesus came back
to life once more,
And later ascended
to Heaven,
And that he's there now
on that lovely shore.
He promised someday
to return for us,
And that forever
with Him we will be.
Thank you dear God
for Christmas,
And that from sin
You've set us free.
We love the gift
You gave us,
We'll love Him
for all eternity,
And forever and
ever be thankful,
That with Him
we'll always be.
