The Christmas Card by Amy Joy Ballor

Lyrics

“The Christmas Card” (chorus) A Christmas Card! A simple card. A pretty one, that’s true. We all love a Christmas card! Is it for me or you? (verse) I found it in the music we’ll sing on a holy night– To give the world a pretty tune to shine sweet Jesus’ light–We’re here right now to practice to make sure we get it right. (Chorus) A Christmas Card! A simple card, a pretty one, that’s true. We all love a Christmas card! Is it for me? Or you? (verse) Some cards show wide-eyed shepherds seeing angels singing Glory! Or Magi wise men on their way for their part in the story– My favorites show the stable with the animal’s behavior – Joseph loving Mary and our gorgeous newborn Savior (Chorus) It’s fun to see the frosty scenes with horses and their sleighs– children tumbling in the snow and chimney fires ablaze — I like a candle just as well that shows us Jesus saves. (Chorus) My wish for you– a Christmas card from someone that you love.
