Flickering
candles, unopened gifts
A
room full of friends who would never miss this
A
festive occasion fit for a king
Everyone
knows the reason we sing
It’s the birthday of love that brings us together
The birthday of love we’ll celebrate forever
We gather each Christmas
‘Cause the Child is still with us
You’re invited to the birthday of love
“Silent
Night” played on guitar and a flute
A
tender voice reads from the Gospel of Luke
Of shepherds
and angels and a
Unwrapping
a presence of peace on earth
The
people in darkness have seen a great light
The
Word become flesh is with us tonight
Repeat chorus
with last line:
Welcome to the birthday of love
