The Light of Jesus shining
From the eyes of little ones
Tells me it's the Season
Time to sing the name of Jesus
So that everyone can hear

Our children need reminding
Of the reason for the season
The reason is the Baby
Born in Bethlehem that day

And the Virgin in the Manger
Giving birth out in the cold
We need to tell our children
This story that's so old

About a Virgin Mother
And a carpenter by trade
About their trip upon an ass
And the changes that they made

About the Baby Jesus
Born as humble as they come
About the three wise kings
Who said He is the One

The One we'll sing our praises to
The One who'll save mankind
The Son that God has sent to Earth
To show us we've been blind

The Light of Jesus shining
From they eyes of little ones
Tells me its the season
Time to sing the name of Jesus
So that everyone can hear
