Much to Celebrate

Not the tinsel, the glitter
the presents, the parties
much to celebrate
if we truly believe

Christ is coming
the babe in the manger
the risen Lord and Savior
come to heal the earth

We should be singing
shouting out loud
we should be sharing
our joy that profound

God in his mercy
sending us his Son
redeeming us from ourselves
the battle already won
