HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS

Songbook: Songs of Love Songbook
KeyWords: Christmas,

I remember Christmas when I was young
The parties and the songs we sung
Presents under the Christmas tree
And everybody wondering "What's in it for me?"

I remember exchanging gifts
Everyone thinkin' "Ooh, how nice!"
Then one Christmas the thought came to me
Isn't this the birthday of Jesus Christ?

Chorus:
Happy Birthday Jesus I started to sing
You came that blessed day
And gave us everything
For the Son of God was given
And was hung upon a tree
And the only gift for Christmas
Is His Gift for you and me.

Now when Christmas comes my way
I still celebrate that blessed day
I hang the lights for all to see
And with all my heart you'll hear me say:

[Repeat Chorus]
