THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS
KERRY PATRICK CLARK

No wrapping paper no label no name
A heaven-sent angel named Gabriel came
Said, ‘favored one, Mary, the Lord is with you
This message I bring, the son of a king is conceived in your womb’

I can’t imagine her trembling dream
The fear in her waking and what it would mean
The words from an angel no witness no proff
She carried the boy the fear and the joy the weight of the truth

CHORUS
Love is the heart of Christmas, love is the savior and son
Love sent a child to save us and free each captive one
The angels sang the wise confessed the child this girl holds to her breast
Is the heart of Christmas

I bet carpenter Joseph just dropped to his knees
Too wounded for walking to angry to see
The heart that was breaking the life he would loose
To save every face or family disgrace which one to choose

He had every reason he had every right
He wrestled the darkness he searched for the light
In one miracle moment God’s angel proclaimed
Take Mary home this child is my own give him this name

CHORUS
Love is the heart of Christmas, love is the savior and son
Love sent a child to save us and free each captive one
The angels sang the wise confessed the child this man holds to his cheast
Is the heart of Christmas Is the heart of Christmas
