Lyrics

Christmas As If

As if we were joyful and triumphant
As if we still made spirits bright
As if sinners might be reconciled
As if we still had silent nights

As if we’ll all be home for Christmas
As if you'll really hold me tight
As if our dark streets shineth
with an ever-lasting light

This year as our Christmas gift
This year let's do Christmas as if
Our hearts and minds and voices lift
And this year do Christmas as if

As if our weary world rejoices
As if our troubles are out of sight
As if we know we’re all god’s children
As if all is merry and bright

As if we all had chestnuts roasting
As if nothing we dismay
As if there were seasons to be jolly
As if we jingled all the way
