Every year we make a list
Put the cards up on the fridge
String the lights around the tree
Caroling with the family

There's so much to do
In the holiday season
I don't wanna lose
Lose sight of the reason

So this Christmas here's my prayer
Help me remember why we're here
To take a minute and look around
To breathe it in and slow it down
So many memories I don't want to miss
And if I only had one wish
To be in the moments at the top of my list

Cause this Christmas

Presence is the greatest gift

The snow outside will melt away
But I know we still have today
So find the ones you love most
Wrap them up and hold them close

There's no time to lose
This Christmas season
So I'm gonna choose
To remember the reason

So this Christmas here's my prayer
Help me remember why we're here
To take a minute and look around
To breathe it in and slow it down
So many memories I don't want to miss
And if I only had one wish
To be in the moments at the top of my list

Cause this Christmas

Presence is the greatest gift

When I was a boy
The nativity was a toy
But now that I'm older
The manger scene means so much more

So this Christmas here's my prayer
Help me remember you were there
In a manger without a crib
A child born so we could live

So this Christmas here's my prayer
Help me remember why we're here
To take a minute and look around
To breathe it in and slow it down
So many memories I don't want to miss
And if I only had one wish
To be in the moments at the top of my list

Cause this Christmas

Presence is the greatest gift

Presence is the greatest gift
