A Different Kind Of Christmas

Sometimes Christmas is just overwhelming, it seems
As we rush around buying up stuff
We spend without end, and we rack up those bills
But it feels like it's never enough

So this Christmas, let's all take a different approach
Let's try to be more in accord
With God's Christmas gift, the best one of all
Our sweet Jesus, our Savior, our Lord

We'll be gentle and patient, and loving and kind
And we'll keep our priorities straight
The gifts of the Spirit, the gifts of the heart
Are the ones that we'll all celebrate

And our stress will decrease, and we'll feel more at peace
As we decorate, package, and trim
Our new Christmas will be a pure joy and delight
As we try to be much more like Him
