Lyrics

THE GREATEST GIFT OF LOVE
(NICHOLS/CHENOWETH/SMITH)

VERSE
IT’S EARLY CHRISTMAS MORNING—SITTING IN MY ROCKING CHAIR
BEFORE THE KIDS AWAKEN AND COME RACING DOWN THE STAIRS
SO MANY GIFTS IN PAPER WRAPPING—HEARTS FILLED WITH JOY AND LAUGHING
TINSEL, TRAINS, AND TALKING TEDDY BEARS
LET’S NOT FORGET THE REASON FOR THE REASON
WE CELEBRATE THE MEANING OF THE SEASON

CHORUS
THE DAY THAT LOVE CAME DOWN TO AN UNSUSPECTING TOWN
A BABE WAS BORN A KING WITHOUT A CROWN
A TURNING POINT IN HISTORY –HE LIVED AND DIED FOR YOU AND ME
A PRESENT SENT FROM HEAVEN UP ABOVE
THE GREATEST GIFT OF LOVE

VERSE
WE LIVE IN SUCH A HURRY—NOT ONE MOMENT LEFT TO SPARE
WE SEE SOMEONE IN NEED BUT WE’RE TO BLIND TO EVEN CARE
WHAT IF GOD HAD DONE THE SAME—
TURNED HIS BACK AND LOOKED AWAY
LEFT US ALL ALONE WITHOUT A PRAYER
INSTEAD HE SENT THE WORLD HIS ONLY SON
WHEN WE COULD NOT COME TO HIM HE CAME TO US

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE
SANTA CLAUS AND MISTLETOE AND TIDINGS OF GOOD CHEER
ALL PART OF THE SEASON—BUT T NOT THE REASON
WE CELEBRATE EACH YEAR

(REPEAT CHORUS)

TAG
IT WAS A PRESENT SENT FROM HEAVEN UP ABOVE
THE GREATEST GIFT OF LOVE
