Christmas Joy

God sent Him to us, to save us from sin,
His arrival foretold by the sages.
The angels rejoiced when so long ago
They brought news that's been told through the ages.

Mary the Virgin, mothered the sweet child
Who had come to bring peace to the earth.
The angels sang carols, spreading the word,
Proclaiming our Lord's long awaited birth.

He came to bring peace, He came to bring love.
He was the answer to all the world's woes.
The shepherds and the wisemen were happy
To follow the star as far as it goes.

We like the shepherds must follow the star.
It is up there in the Heavens, still glowing.
If we would banish all wars and distress,
We must follow wherever it's going.

There is nothing God's love cannot conquer.
Freely given to all who believe.
The star shows the way to Christmas joy
And the blessings of that first Christmas Eve.
