I'm your Christmas tree, all brightly lit, Hung with angels, colored balls, and elves. Underneath my boughs your presents sit, If you've behaved yourselves. Why must we wait till early Christmas morn To open up our brand-new games and toys? Why gifts for us the day that Christ was born If we're good girls and boys? Now listen to your Christmas tree: I'm wise In all the ways of faith that you must know. I'm here because of what I symbolize: Green through ice and snow. There is a world beyond what we can see Where, by grace of God, we can receive God's greatest gift: to live eternally, If only we believe. Eternal life is what God gave to you In sending down His son to live on Earth. This was His gift, so Santa brings gifts, too, To celebrate Christ's birth. The baby Jesus got gifts on this day Because, like any child, He loved to play. And so God wants to share this special joy With every girl and boy. Believe God loves you as your parents do, And takes great joy in giving gifts to you. Live well and love, and evergreen like me, You'll live eternally.
