(I Long to Feel The) Christmas Spirit

Everyone, COME gather near,
 And I'll tell you a story, that you'll love to hear,
 (ooohh)
 It's Christmas time, the season's RIPE
 And all around the world, we celebrate the birth of Christ.
 He came to bring us peace,
 He came to bring us everything that we need to set us free.
 HOW I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
 Oh I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
 As a child I still recall
 well, Christmas was my favorite season of them all
 (oh) my heart was filled with CHILDLIKE GRACE
 and THE hope there is IN KNOWING
 why the savior came
 He came to bring us peace
 he came to bring us everything that we need
 to set us free
 now I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
 yes I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
 So turn your heart throbs in
 and let God grow within
 not to destroy
 the greatest gift I know
 he came to earth BELOW
 to show us love
 He came to bring us peace
 he came to bring us joy
 he came to bring us everything
 IN faith, if we believe
 the gift that we receive
 is LIFE AND love and everything
 the greatest gift I know
 he came to earth BELOW
 he came to bring us everything
 still I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
 yes I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
 now I long to feel that Christmas spirit in my heart
