I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below

With tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow

The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear

For I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear

But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here

For I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring

For it is beyond description to hear an angel sing

I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place

Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face

I'll ask Him to light your spirit as I tell Him of your love

So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above

Please let your heart be joyful and let your spirit sing

For I'm spending Christmas in Heaven and I'm walking with the King

I know how much you miss me I see the pain inside your heart

But I'm not so far away we really aren't apart

So be happy for me dear ones you know I hold you dear

And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above

I send you each a memory of my undying love

After all "love" is the gift more precious than pure gold

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told

Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do

For I can't count the blessings or the love He has for you

So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear

Remember I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year
