Jesus is Born Christmas!

JESUS IS BORN CHRISTMAS

By Gary Clendenon © 2003

An adaptation of TENNESSEE CHRISTMAS By Amy Grant & Gary Chapman © 1983



Some say, weatherman, Give us a Xmas snowy white

Can't you hear the prayers Of every childlike heart tonight

Rockies are callin', Denver snow fallin'

Somebody said it's four feet deep

But it doesn't matter, amidst all the clatter

I'm gonna choose to keep...


Another Jesus is born Christmas

The only Christmas for me

Where His love circles around us

Like the gifts around our tree

Well, I know there's more snow up in Colorado

And it’s beautiful to see

But a Jesus is born Christmas

Is the only Christmas for me.


Make your plans for Xmas break; they urge me to see

Maybe California, maybe Tinsel Town's for me

There's a parade there, we'd have it made there

Bring home a tan for New Year's Eve

Sure sounds inviting, awfully exciting

Still I think I'm gonna keep...


Another Jesus is born Christmas

The only Christmas for me

Where His love circles around us

Like the gifts around our tree

Well, they say in LA it's a great holiday

It's the only place to be

But a Jesus is born Christmas

Is the only Christmas for me.

Ya, a Jesus is born Christmas

Is the only Christmas for me.

Distilled Christmas

 

Distilled Christmas!”

Have you noticed?


There is something magical about

this whole Christmas experience!


What is it?


Do you know??


I desperately want to distill it and bottle it so that I can drink

 daily of its irresistible enchantment all the otherwise often 

dreary year!


Can you help me?


Will you help me??


I really want this!


Like, somehow my life depends on it!
