CHRISTMAS SHINES

Men: In the sparkle of the city strung with shiny red and green,

Women: In the star above the stable of a tiny manger scene

Men/Women: In the hearts of all the people who believe in what it means,

Christmas shines.

Women: In the Christmas card you open from a friend who’s far a-way,

Men: Ooo______________________ Ooo______Ooo__Ooo

Women: In the laughter and excitement as you wait for Christmas day,

Men: Ooo_________Ooo________________Ooo_____Ooo

Women: In the story of the Baby who was cradled in the hay, Christmas shines!

Men: Oh_______ho__________ho__________ho_________ sha-a-a-ines!

who still feel that childlike surprise;

Christmas shines like the Savior who leads us,

He puts fire in our hearts, and hope in our eyes!

Men/Women: In the secrets and surprises, in the packages and bows

In the faith that fills our spirits like a candle as it glows,

 Women: In the holy Child of Bethlehem whose love within us grows, Christmas

Men: Ah ha ha ha____________
