Intro
There’s a little more love in the air tonight
A little more hope in the candlelight
And a thousand reasons for hearts to sing
When Christmas brings out the best in everything
Verse 1
There’s a glow in every window
There’s a song on every street
There’s a little extra kindness
In the strangers that we meet
There’s a family gathered laughing
There’s a place beside the fire
And the simple joy of giving
Lifts our spirits even higher
Pre-Chorus
For the child born in a manger
Brought a message to the earth
That the richest gifts we’ll ever give
Are the ones of greatest worth
Chorus
Let the Christmas bells keep ringing
Let the love and laughter flow
Let the kindness that we’re sharing
Be the greatest gift we show
May the gentle find their blessings
May the broken find their peace
May the hungry hearts find comfort
May the love in this world increase
Oh, let the Christmas lights remind us
Of the good that we can do
For the joy of Christmas lives
In the love we carry through
Verse 2
Bless the hands that offer kindness
Bless the hearts that choose to care
Bless the ones who make a little room
When there’s hardly room to spare
Bless the ones who seek forgiveness
And the peacemakers we know
Bless the hearts that still show mercy
Even when the world says no
There’s a joy in every blessing
There’s a grace in gratitude
And the world becomes more beautiful
With the good we choose to do
Pre-Chorus
Jesus taught us love is greater
Than the treasures we possess
And the more we give to others
The more our own lives are blessed
Chorus
Let the Christmas bells keep ringing
Let the love and laughter flow
Let the kindness that we’re sharing
Be the greatest gift we show
May the gentle find their blessings
May the broken find their peace
May the hungry hearts find comfort
May the love in this world increase
Oh, let the Christmas lights remind us
Of the good that we can do
For the joy of Christmas lives
In the love we carry through
Bridge
It’s easy to love the laughter
It’s easy to share the cheer
But Christmas asks a little more
Than the happiest time of year
Can we love beyond the season?
Can we forgive and understand?
Can we bring a little heaven
To the world with our own hands?
For the humble and the hurting
For the weary and the weak
May we be the love and comfort
That so many people seek
Final Chorus
Let the Christmas bells keep ringing
Let the grateful voices rise
Let the love we give each other
Be the stars that fill the skies
May the merciful find mercy
May the peacemakers be blessed
May the lonely find a welcome
And the weary find their rest
Let the whole world come together
Let our hearts be filled anew
For the greatest Christmas miracle
Is the love that lives in you
Outro
And when the Christmas lights are fading
And the decorations disappear
May the lessons of that holy night
Stay with us throughout the year
For the greatest way to honor
The child born on Christmas Day
Is to live the love He taught us
In the things we do and say
Let the bells ring…
Let the kindness grow…
Let the love of Christmas
Be the love we always show.
