Too Early For Christmas Music?
Here’s my single solitary Christmas song – every songwriter needs at least one, right? This was from 1984 – this version is a refreshed recording.
Lyrics:
The gift that I bring is the song that I sing
And the prayer that is offered within
It might not mean that much to you now
But I’m hoping love will find His way in
He was there all the time, didn’t know, I was blind
But his healing makes blind eyes to see
When he opened the door, I could see so much more
Now he’s more than just Christmas to me
More than just sleigh bells and more than goodwill
More than the gifts ’round the tree
More than religion in ribbons and bows
Jesus is God’s gift to me
So I’m searching my mind for a tune and a rhyme
That can get your attention somehow
I hope that you’ll hear while his presence is near
And maybe accept his gift to you now
He’s been there all the time, you don’t know – you’ve been blind But his healing can cause you to see
Let him open the door, it won’t be like before
And he’ll be more than just Christmas, you’ll see
He’s more than just sleigh bells and more than goodwill
More than the gifts ’round the tree
He’s more than religion in ribbons and bows
And I’m praying tonight that you’ll see
He’s more than a carpenter, more than a man
Or a prophet from old Galilee
He’s more than a story that’s told once a year
Jesus is savior to me
And I’m praying tonight that you’ll see
