The Spirit of Christmas

So what be the spirit - of Christmas indeed
Through a child, in the world, was sowed a seed
A seed of light. A seed of hope.
A seed that washed us clean like soap
A seed through whom we then grew as leaves
Our lives to God and not to thieves
A seed of truth in revolution
That changed the whole worlds' constitution

This spirit remains, this spirit lives on
In us, together, is seen as one...

This spirit keeps us, this spirit leads us
And the things we need, the spirit gives us
This spirit brings new, in every old day
This spirit is love, in every good way
This spirit is Christmas as Christmas should be
To living this life, to celebrate free

Christmas is several things and then not
Christmas isn't, what Christmas is not
It's not a man, in red clothes so jolly
It's not doors and houses, fraught with Holly
It's not presents and gifts, or the Christmas tree
It's not many of the things we think it be

Christ is the truth - in this Christmas we need
Christ is the spirit of Christmas indeed
Christ is the heart and Christ is the soul
Christ is the one - that makes us all whole
Christ is the present, the future and past
Christ is the spirit..... true Christmas at last
