|
The ornaments are ready
|
The place has been prepared
|
Strings of lights and holly
|
Are draped across the chair
|
The family’s all together
|
I know where they must be
|
Everyone is searching
|
For the perfect tree
|
|
CHORUS
|
The perfect tree
|
Grew very long ago
|
And it was not decked with silver
|
Or with ornaments of gold
|
But hanging from its branches
|
Was a gift for you and me
|
Jesus laid His life down
|
On the perfect tree
|
|
Mother wants a straight one
|
The children want it tall
|
Dad just hopes that somehow
|
He can get it down the hall
|
Soon they’ll gather round it
|
As proud as they can be
|
But when they’re looking at it
|
I wonder if they see
|
|
CHORUS (repeat)
|
|
With all the celebrations
|
Sometimes the truth is lost
|
That every step this baby took
|
Brought Him closer to the cross
|
|
CHORUS (repeat 2X)
|
