Lyrics
When We Know It's Christmas
When the awareness of Christmas dawns upon us
When we know it's Christmas
Reiteration of the recognition of Christmas
Our hearts dream its joy will last.
Our hearts anticipate that the joy of Christmas will endure
In granted wishes, smiling faces:
In fulfilled wishes and joyful expressions
His love is here for us.
God's love is present and available for us
When we know it's Christmas,
Upon realizing it's Christmas
Our souls say, "Forgive you must."
Our souls acknowledge the importance of forgiveness
In warm embraces, prayers promised:
In warm embraces and promised prayers
His grace puts aches to past.
God's grace alleviates past pains
And we hope that Christmas stays with us:
Expressing a desire for Christmas to have a lasting impact
His eternal love
Emphasizing the eternal nature of God's love
That is present in how we are saved,
God's presence is evident in our salvation
And in all the gifts we have.
Recognition of God's gifts in various aspects of life
Through His birth, we witness His selflessness:
Through the birth of Jesus, acknowledging His selflessness
A love so pure and kind.
Describing God's love as pure and kind
When we kept this all in mind.
Reflecting on these thoughts
We know it's Christmas time.
Confirming the arrival of Christmas time
When we know it's Christmas,
Reiteration of the realization of Christmas
we pray He lives in us
Expressing a prayer for God's presence within us
