It happens in your heart
Around Christmastime each year. The world seems filled with love
Because we feel our Lord so near. His birth has given hope And such joy to behold. The Christ Child is the reason And more precious than all our gold. People helping those in need –Kindness seems to flow. It happens in your heart And lives within your soul. We’re thanking God for His greatest Gift Each season when Christmas starts. That’s when you feel and really know Because it happens in your heart.

Soon, the angels will be singing, Soon will come the starry night
When a Savior King lies sleeping Wrapped in Glory’s golden light. Once more comes sweet absolution, The gift of ancient to keep, As Heaven’s choir proclaims His birth… Forgiveness, in a manger, sleeps.

The Road to Bethlehem
With an absolute, unending trust And a God-chosen Star in the sky, The road to Bethlehem was “a must” For listening souls who dared to try. The soft breeze of night refreshed them so And they eagerly quickened their pace; Following dreams made long ago, They witnessed the light of sacred space. In this mystic glow of Wisdom’s beam, They saw the Infant in swaddling clothes. His glance filled their hearts with peace serene; They knew they had seen God’s love unfold.
