F                          C/F                    Bb9/A

It’s not about a snowy morning in December

It’s not about chestnuts on an open fire

F                                  C/F                      Bb9/A

Or Christmas carols being sung by a children’s choir

It’s not about a reindeer with a shiny, red nose

F                              C/F        Bb9/A

It’s not about the tinsel we hung on the tree

              F                              C/F                     Bb9/A

Or the twinkling lights on every house on every street

Or the countless trips and traffic at the local town mall

 

F                       C/F                    Bb9/A

It’s not about kissing underneath mistletoe

F                          C/F                     Bb9/A

It’s not about a singing, dancing man made of snow

F                          C/F                   Bb9/A

It’s not about a turkey meal with all of the trimmings

F                             C/F                        Bb9/A

Or a way to end a year and start from all new beginnings

 

(to chorus)

 

 

Bb                             F/A                      Bb9/G

There’s something more you should know

On a starlit night

Angels in the sky

Celebrate His Name

He became a man

Left the right hand of God to fulfill His Father’s plan
