Spirit of Christmas

Spirit of Christmas
 
We lovingly decorate the handsome pine tree
And the spirit of Christmas sets our hearts free
 
On the wall we hang a golden holy cross
In loving remembrance of the one we lost
 
High atop the pine tree a beautiful angel stands
A heavenly sight blessing one with her open hands
 
The full moon is glowing and it’s getting late
With your king-sized bed you made a date
 
Come lay your head down in heavenly sleep
You have got promises of the heart to keep
 
 By candlelight you say your loving prayers
You say them though your heart-felt tears
 
May you have dreams of happy Christmases’ past
Your fond memories from the first to the last
 
There’s the flutter of wings from your roof top
It’s only the barn owl flying he’s made a stop
 
Your loving halo is burning bright
Sleep in the peace of this silent night
 
May gracious angels now take to flight
On the eve of this blessed holy night
 
Though this year the only present you ask for
Is the gift of love, you couldn’t ask for more
 
Shall many blessings be given and bestowed upon you
Absent of your friendship I wouldn’t know what to do
 
Brilliant snow covers the ground what a beautiful sight
Maybe your prayers will all be answered upon this night
