More Than Tinsel

More Than Tinsel 

[Verse 1]
Does it ever seem the Christmas story
Is bigger than what is told
The angels sang, the shepherds ran
And heaven was unfurled
Yet all we do on Christmas day
Is focus on ourselves
When God above sent His Son down,
To save the world from sin

[Chorus]
Oh, I believe on Christmas day
We should spread the word
That God came down to live with us
His perfect promise shared
He left glory to look for me
So that I may be saved
This sinful man deserved to die
If not for Christmas day

[Verse 2]
That holy night in Bethlehem
The stars all held their breath
While Mary sang a quiet song
And Joseph clung to faith
No trumpet sounded for the King
No palace, robe, or throne
Just heaven wrapped in human skin
And mercy newly born

[Chorus]
Oh, I believe on Christmas day
We should spread the word
That God came down to live with us
His perfect promise shared
He left glory to look for me
So that I may be saved
This sinful man deserved to die
If not for Christmas day

[Verse 3]
The shepherds heard the angel choir
The fields were filled with light
“Good news of joy for all the world
The Christ is born tonight”
They ran to see the promised One
So helpless, yet so strong
The Hope of every longing heart
Arrived before the dawn

[Chorus]
Oh, I believe on Christmas day
We should spread the word
That God came down to live with us
His perfect promise shared
He left glory to look for me
So that I may be saved
This sinful man deserved to die
If not for Christmas day

[Bridge]
Emmanuel, God with us
The mystery made plain
Eternal Love stepped into time
To walk among our pain
It's more than tinsel, lights, and cheer
More than songs we sing
It’s heaven’s gift to broken earth
The birth of Christ the King

[Chorus]
Oh, I believe on Christmas day
We should spread the word
That God came down to live with us
His perfect promise shared
He left glory to look for me
So that I may be saved
This sinful man deserved to die
If not for Christmas day

[Tag]
So let us worship, let us tell
What heaven chose to say
God came near, and love was born
That first Christmas day

[Closing]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Christ is born for us today
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
This is a hallowed day
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
