|
|
Gay twinkling lights are blinking brightly all across the
town |
|
December chills the air as frosty snowflakes flitter down |
|
The malls abound with hurried shoppers giggling rounds of
glee |
|
They
scurry home with gifts to stow beneath a fake fir tree |
|
|
|
Once dearly we'd anticipate the year's most sacred day |
|
To celebrate the birth of Him who'd come to show the way |
|
We'd venerate the One who changed the course of all our
lives |
|
Of late our faith's been jaded into Currier and Ives |
|
|
|
Tell me whatever happened to Christmas? |
|
Is our heritage
sliding away? |
|
People timidly bid "Season's Greetings" |
|
For some
homogenized holiday |
|
Reckless lawyers rail "Christ is offensive!" |
|
Feckless
judges nail Him with their votes |
|
It's a crime just to wish "Merry Christmas!" |
|
Or to honor
the Man it denotes |
|
|
| Instrumental |
| |
|
Our Founders in their wisdom penned a brilliant Bill of
Rights |
|
They bequeathed us the freedoms they shed blood for in the
fight |
|
These faithful men were tried-and-true... they weighed each
word they said |
|
They never dreamed there'd dawn the day God
would be declared dead |
|
|
|
Tell me whatever happened to Christmas? |
|
Is our heritage
sliding away? |
|
People timidly bid "Season's Greetings" |
|
For some
homogenized holiday |
|
Reckless lawyers rail "Christ is offensive!" |
|
Feckless
judges nail Him with their votes |
|
It's a crime just to wish "Merry Christmas!" |
|
Or to honor
the Man it denotes |
|
|
|
George Washington would be dismayed by how we misbehave |
|
No doubting Thomas Jefferson is turning in his grave |
|
To tear asunder their ideals
would be our worst mistake |
|
Our trust in God must never sleep... our faith remain awake |
|
|
|
As for me I'll still purely keep Christmas |
|
All its
symbols I'll surely display |
|
Baby Jesus will lie in His manger |
|
While Saint Nicholas flies in his sleigh |
|
I won't humbug my heart for the heathens |
|
They can't dampen my holiday cheer |
|
So I'm wishing you
all MERRY CHRISTMAS! |
|
And a
most blessèd Happy New Year |
|
