Verse 1

I remember singing Christmas songs
With family 'round the fire
My grandpa would read Luke chapter two
Each year until he died
And when he finally closed his Bible
Just before we opened gifts
He’d smile and say don’t you forget
What Christmas really is
Yeah he'd say

Chorus

Hope ain’t hard to find
If you’re lookin in the right place
Peace on Earth will come
With healing for your heartaches
When the year was long
And you feel like giving in
Remember God so loved the world
He chose to give
His only Son so you could be with Him
That’s what Christmas really is

Verse 2

Years went by and seasons changed
But one thing stayed the same
The year he went to be with God
I picked up his King James
I can’t help thinkin' he’d be proud of me
If he could see me now
'Cause I'm telling his great grandkids
What Christmas is about
Now I say

Chorus

Hope ain’t hard to find
If you’re lookin in the right place
Peace on Earth will come
With healing for your heartaches
When the year was long
And you feel like giving in
Remember God so loved the world
He chose to give
His only Son so you could be with Him
That’s what Christmas really is

Verse 3

I hope they never lose their wonder
I hope they never lose their joy
I hope my kids
Will watch kids of their own
Wake up and open toys
And you can bet I’ll be there reading
Every year the good Lord gives
I’ll tell ‘em 'bout my grandpa
And what Christmas really is
I’ll tell ‘em all 'bout Jesus
And what Christmas really is
I'll smile and say now don't forget
What Christmas really is

Chorus

Hope ain’t hard to find
If you’re lookin in the right place
Peace on Earth will come
With healing for your heartaches
When the year was long
And you feel like giving in
Remember God so loved the world
He chose to give
His only Son so you could be with Him

Tag

Yeah God so loved the world
He chose to give
His only Son so you could be with Him
That’s what Christmas really is
