(Verse 1) The snow is falling softly on the streetlights down below The living room is glowing in a warm and gentle yellow We’re pulling out the boxes, putting ornaments on the tree Every single silver star is a lifetime memory The kitchen's full of laughter, and the cider's on the stove The house is getting crowded, but it's filling up with love (Chorus) 'Cause we're making memories with the ones we hold so tight We are spending time with family on this holy winter night Gathered close with old friends, letting all our worries cease And resting in the quiet of God's sweet and perfect peace Yeah, the world might try to tell us it's the trimmings on the tree But Jesus is the reason for the season that we keep (Verse 2) The phones are put away now, we're just looking face to face Sharing stories from the past years, wrapped up in saving grace The rush of life is fading, and the noise begins to blur As we think about a baby who was wrapped up in the myrrh No grand and flashing lights could ever match that humble star That led the world to freedom right to where our blessings are (Chorus) 'Cause we're making memories with the ones we hold so tight We are spending time with family on this holy winter night Gathered close with old friends, letting all our worries cease And resting in the quiet of God's sweet and perfect peace Yeah, the world might try to tell us it's the trimmings on the tree But Jesus is the reason for the season that we keep (Bridge) It’s a peace the world can't give us, and the world can't take away Born inside a manger on that very first Christmas Day Beyond the gifts we're wrapping, and the holiday cheer He’s the ultimate reminder of why we're gathered here (Chorus) Oh, we're making memories with the ones we hold so tight We are spending time with family on this holy winter night Gathered close with old friends, letting all our worries cease And resting in the quiet of God's sweet and perfect peace Yeah, the world might try to tell us it's the trimmings on the tree But Jesus is the reason for the season that we keep (Outro) Yeah, Jesus is the reason... The sweetest gift we’ll ever see. Merry Christmas.
