I’m spending Christmas with Jesus this Year

I see the countless Christmas trees

Around the world below

With tiny lights, like heavens stars

Reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular

Please wipe away that tear

For I am spending Christmas

With Jesus Christ this year

I hear the many Christmas songs

That people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can’t compare

With the Christmas choir up here

For I have no words to tell you

The joy their voices bring

For it is beyond description

To hear the angels sing

I can’t tell you of the splendor

Or the peace here in this place

Can you just imagine Christmas

With our savior, face to face

I’ll ask him to light your spirit

As I tell him of your love

So then pray for one another

As I lift your eyes above

Please let your hearts be joyful

And let your spirit sing

For I am spending Christmas in heaven

And I’m walking with the King
