The Spirit of Christmas Lies Within the Heart
Not in the gifts or presents, not in whole or part
Not in the lovely warmth of fires burning bright
Not in the hearty welcomes of family or friends alike
Not in the joyful music or exotic decorations
Not in the funny jokes or colloquial phrases
No, Christmas is because Jesus came to save
Those who turned from God in prideful work and shame
Praise Him who has conquered our sin and the grave
Praise Him who has victory with mighty power displayed
For this is why we rejoice in Christmas from the start
The spirit of the season lies within the heart
