The season comes
But once a year
A gift of precious wonder
For all who hold it dear
But past the sights
And colored lights
Lord, far beyond December
I will remember
After the carols fade away
After the yule fire dies down
When there are no longer dreams
To open and see
Because You are hope
And joy and peace
Because You're the only gift I need
In my heart the season will remain
After December slips away
Years ago beneath a tree
Fell the drops of crimson
That set the faithful free
The gift was life sent in love
Lord, far beyond December
I will remember
After the carols fade away
After the yule fire dies down
When there are no longer
Dreams to open and see
Because You are hope
And joy and peace
Because You're the only gift I need
In my heart the season will remain
After December slips away
No matter how bright
The glitter shines
No matter how many hopes come true
I know that all I have
Begins and ends with You
