Chorus
Christmas lights our joyful message:
sound it out for all to hear!
Hope and peace and joy and love
shine at this time of year.
1.
Hope found in a new-born baby
shining light in the darkest night –
word unspeaking, still unspoken
changing wrong to right.
2.
Peace from the act of setting aside
our time, and things that hold us apart,
finding neighbours, friends and strangers
share a common heart.
3.
Joy from the act of hearing together
news to turn the world on its head;
freed from guilt, and fear and injustice,
love as daily bread.
4.
Love is the heart of the Christmas message;
love the call wherever we roam.
Love will grow, and love will win.
Love will bring us home.
Christmas lights our joyful message:
sound it out for all to hear!
Hope and peace and joy and love
shine at this time of year.
Hope, peace, joy, and love are born!
