YOU ONLY LEFT HEAVEN FOR LOVE

Thinking  about  the  wonderful  day you  were born,
And_ how  we  need  to_remember
What  Christmas  is  for,
With buying  and shopping
Giving  and  getting  new  things,
We tend  to forget  the  birth of  the  king  of  kings.

You  told us  it’s better  to give  than it  is  to  receive,
And  you  gave  us yourself  on  that
Wonderful  first _ Christmas Eve
But  we’re often  so  busy with  parties,
And  Holiday  scenes,
And we  seem to forget what  your,
Birth on  Christmas  day  means.

Oh, but  I  can  imagine,  that  Silent  night,
Creation  held its  breath  to  see,
The wonderful sight,
And  men heard  angels  sing,
Glory  and  praise  to  the  new  born King,
Oh,  help me to see,
You  only  left  Heaven  for  Love  that night.

To our  World  you  came,  a  precious, Gift  from above,
and  you  gave  us  your  life, So we _ could _ know_ your  father’s love,
When  I think what  it  cost you, There’s  so  little  I can  do,
But  I’ll  show you, My  love by  giving my hea-rt  to you.
Now _ I can  imagine  that  silent  night, Creation  held its breath to see won_der_ful  sight,  men  heard  angels  sing, Glory  and  praise  to  the  newborn  king. Oh, Now I can see,  You only  left  Heaven  For Love that night
(Chorus twice) (last  two lines  twice)
