Verse 1 
Little child, born in a manger 
In a town filled with strangers 
Shepherds and the wise men 
The first to come to Him 
What the prophets had been saying 
Through the ages people praying 
They would have a saviour 
The one who would be king 

Bridge 
So we should remember this Christmas 
As we sing our songs of joy and praise Him 
This little boy in a stable 
One day dies for all our sin 

Chorus 
Jesus is the reason for the season 
Jingle bells, Christmas trees 
Gifts and cards, 
Signs of joy throughout the world 
The promise of an everlasting life 
Has come to pass -- the light of God is here 
To shine on all the world 

Verse 2 
This man -- no longer a baby 
Walked on earth -- God's authority 
Told us of God's kingdom 
The people came to Him 
And with all His signs and wonders 
His life changed ours forever 
The poor man and the rich man 
Were all the same to Him 

Bridge 
So we should remember this Christmas 
As we sing our songs of joy and praise Him 
This little boy in a stable 
One day dies to rise again 

Chorus 
Jesus is the reason for the season 
Jingle bells, Christmas trees 
Gifts and cards, 
Signs of joy throughout the world 
The promise of an everlasting life 
Has come to pass -- the light of God is here 
To shine on all the world 

Repeat Chorus 
The light of God is here 
To shine on all the world
