There's a word we often mention all along life's weary way 
                                           G7 
It's the day that's made to praise the one unseen 
          C                      G7  C 
It's been changed from holy to a holiday 
                      G7               C 
And we seldom stop to think of what it means 

         F         C             F         G7 
But it's holy holy not a holiday holy holy not a holiday

So stop and think dear brother as you celebrate this day

Christmas is holy not a holiday 

                G7     C                          G7 
I wonder how my Savior feels to look down on this earth 
    C                               G7               C 
And watch people fuss and fight and grip about their meals 
             G7        C 
How they celebrate His birth 

         F         C             F         G7 
But it's holy holy not a holiday holy holy not a holiday 
   C                                  G7             C 
So stop and think dear brother as you celebrate this day 
                  G7        C 
Christmas is holy not a holiday 

         F         C             F         G7 
But it's holy holy not a holiday holy holy not a holiday 
   C                                  G7             C 
So stop and think dear brother as you celebrate this day 
                  G7        C 
Christmas is holy not a holiday
