Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A girl named Mary dreamed of bein' in love
Gathering water by a lonely mount
An angel came and whispered very low
You are the one that our God has chose
To have this savior, as it were passed down
Too many prophets, so long ago
And when he placed his hand upon her there
And she knew then, the savior she would bear
[Verse 2]
Christmas time
So, we call it Christmas time
Oh, we call it Christmas time
When Christ, our Lord, was born
[Verse 3]
He rendered her a name that man would share
Except when faithfully kneeling in prayer
And she broke and said the name of Christ
And knew the dream would happen in life
[Verse 4]
At Christmas time
Oh, we call it Christmas time
Oh, you know it's Christmas time
When Christ, our Lord, was born
[Verse 5]
To Joseph, she explained in truth that night
Of how the angel came with all his light
And soon they wed, and traveled to the place
Where one bright star would show where his head lay
[Verse 6]
When all men came, they knew that the book
To honor glory to the son of God
And in the manger, quietly he lay
Wise men and shepherds knelt by him to pray
[Verse 7]
It's Christmas time
Oh, Christmas time
Oh, I said, it's Christmas time
When Christ, our Lord, was born
[Verse 8]
Oh, it's Christmas time
Yes it is, it's Christmas time
Oh, I know it's Christmas time
When Christ, our Lord, was born
[Verse 9]
Ooh, it's Christmas time, yeah
