Christmas Dreams of Joy and Goodwill
Family squabbles resolved; a day like on the commercials
The chance for a little happiness
To help sustain us
Through the rest of the year’s hardship and strife
A visit from Santa, whose wife
Waits at home to greet him on his return
Knowing he has once more done his turn
To make the world a better place
Children’s dreams never to be replaced
Always believe in the magic of Christmas
And don’t forget, the glorious news
Of a child born so man might never lose
Hope for God sent His greatest treasure
His son, who for us would bleed and suffer
To procure our hope and joy forever
His message: hope for a world of peace, for ease for the poor
Born in a stable, destined to die for man’s sin
The world’s greatest message; let the earth rejoice in Him
