Verse 1

Everybody's saying Merry Christmas
Everybody's smiling
Singing happy songs
But this December
Your world is unrav'ling
And you don't feel like singing along

Verse 2

Friends are sending cards
With warmest wishes
But you're feeling lonely
Like a winter wind
So take your heart back to
The center of the season
There you see the gift that came
To us in Bethlehem

Chorus

Jesus Christ
He is Heaven's love
Here at last
Forever God with us
All our hope found in a baby boy
He knew we needed comfort and joy

Verse 3

There's no need
To keep your tears from falling
Sometimes what's most painful
Are those holidays
But Christmas shows
That God cares for us deeply
The same boy in the manger
Holds you still today

Chorus

Jesus Christ
He is Heaven's love
Here at last
Forever God with us
All our hope found in a baby boy
He knew we needed comfort and joy

Refrain

Comfort and joy
Comfort and joy

Bridge

For the widow
And the orphan all alone
For the prodigals
And soldiers far from home
The peace of God reaches down
To every aching soul

Chorus

Jesus Christ
He is Heaven's love
Here at last
Forever God with us
All our hope found in a baby boy
He knew our only comfort would be

Chorus

Jesus Christ
He is Heaven's love
Here at last
Forever God with us
All our hope found in a baby boy
He knew we needed
Comfort and joy

Tag

He knew we needed
Comfort and joy
