Remember the time
We got so excited
For Christmas to come
The boy in the manger
The star in the sky
That Jerusalem morn
The flocks in the fields
Wandered around with no
Shepherd to lead
The angels from Heaven
Sent them to witness
The birth of a king
Remember again
Where Christmas began
Forget the tinsel trees
And postcard scenes
Recall the holy day when
Peace on Earth was proclaimed
And push aside the things
That hide what Christmas means
Remember the time
You first heard the story
Of when Jesus came
The perilous journey
No room in the inn
For his family to stay
And yet through the danger
A baby was born
And the angels would sing
While the rest of the world
Ignored the birth of a child
Who would be Christ the King
