The Season for Gratitude

This is the season for gratitude
This is the season for love

Join hands and sing, dance in a ring
Joyous the day

Lying in a bed of hay
In a lamp-lit stable far away
A tiny baby slumbering lay

The star shone down
Illuminating beauty
A baby in a manger

Still the night in Bethlehem
Still the night, still the night

Laden with berries the holly and mistletoe

What must it have been like to be Mary?
The mother of Jesus

Close your eyes my darling little boy
Oh sleep in peace while angels guard you well

Psalms 18:35 Exodus 15:26 2 Kings 20:5 1 Peter 2:24
