From the recording TRACKS FROM THE ALBUM, "AN IVORY CHRISTMAS"
Lyrics
Title: Two Words
Merry Christmas!
TWO WORDS, written on a greeting card
Painted on a window pane
And one includes the name,
Of a little baby born, so many years ago;
The one the whole, wide world would come to know
As the “Christ” in Christmas.
(Verse)
As a child, I looked forward to the season;
And I’ll admit that toys and gifts were the reason.
But as I grew and heard the story told,
I came to realize, the meaning of this day… was so much more
Than just the giving and the gain ….
More than lights and trim, hung around a window frame …
And because God sent His child into my world,
It is with joy that I can wish you,
Merry Christmas!
(Cho)
Those TWO WORDS, written on a greeting card,
Painted on a window pane,
And one includes the name
Of a little baby born, so many years ago;
The one the whole wide world would come to know
As the “Christ” of Christmas.
(Bridge)
TWO WORDS, some would try to throw away …
Change to, “Merry holiday” ..
Leave the Christ child out;
But they can’t change the truth of history..
That this little baby born, is what this season’s all about
(Ending)
Those TWO WORDS, written on a greeting card,
Painted on a window pane ..
And one includes HIS name ………….
