Lyrics
Intro (Hook):
Joy to the world... a Savior is born...
Ohhh, Gloria!
Verse 1:
It's a season to be jolly, a time for love and cheer,
Families all together, the best time of the year.
Laughter in the kitchen, music fills the air,
But as we celebrate, let's pause in prayer.
Chorus:
Jesus is the reason for the season,
The child who came to bring us peace.
Born in a manger, gift of heaven,
The King forevermore, our joy will never cease.
Verse 2:
A long time ago in Bethlehem's night,
A baby was born, the world's guiding light.
Shepherds bowed low, wise men came near,
A star shone bright so all could know.
Chorus:
Jesus is the reason for the season,
The child who came to bring us peace.
Born in a manger, gift of heaven,
The King forevermore, our joy will never cease.
Bridge:
In the opening of gifts, in the laughter we share,
Let's remember the child, God's love beyond compare.
The child who came to bring eternal life,
Shining hope through the darkest night.
High Note Verse:
Gloria, Gloria, the King is born!
I can hear the angels singing in the skies.
Mary and Joseph smiling proud,
The greatest gift to mankind.
Final Chorus (Lifted):
Jesus is the reason for the season,
The child who came to bring us peace.
Born in a manger, gift of heaven,
The King forevermore -- His love will never cease.
Outro:
Gloria... Gloria...
Remember the child who brought eternal life.
Jesus is the King... forevermore.
