Out here is the country there's magic in the air. It's the middle of December there's excitement eveywhere. Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned The gift is just what's in your heart And not what's in your hand. Who's the one we need to thanks Who's the party for Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy. There were times we didn't think We'd make it through the year The bankers tried to take our farms But somehow we're still here. I don't know how our crops survived The drought and then the rain It must have been a miracle How else could you explain. And who's the one we need to thanks And who's the party for And who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy And who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy Preacher said last Sunday it was Joesph and Mary's boy. The Christ Child born in Bethlehem Joesph and Mary's boy. --- Instrumental --- Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned The gift is just what's in your heart And not what's in your hand...
