Please Jesus, Let Christmas Last?

I am holding tightly

to the one who shines so brightly

Dear Lord, may the wonder

of this time of year

never fade,

please help me maintain

sweet Christmas cheer

Merry, Merry, Merry

Dear Lord, may this Christmas spirit

remain in me?

please, Sweet Jesus,

don’t let it pass

may your Christmas comfort

continue all year, please Jesus,

let Christmas last

may we joyfully greet

each passing face

with loving words

in each place

please give me words

that come from you

and help me share

your good news

Merry, Merry, Merry

Dear Lord, may this Christmas spirit

remain in me?

please, Sweet Jesus,

don’t let it pass

may your Christmas comfort

continue all year, please Jesus,

let Christmas last

Jesus, Jesus, you are worthy

we joyfully sing, carols to thee

Christmas joy fills the air

we feel your presence everywhere

may you fill our hearts with love and joy

and may your words whisper true

to each girl and boy

please Jesus,

let Christmas last

Merry, Merry, Merry

Dear Lord, may this Christmas spirit

you are here and you love us so

may we always sparkle your christmas glow

and may our hearts overflow

so that others will come and want to know

how we have the peace that does surpass

and how we can feel joy

when the sad times pass

how we are protected through and through

oh Jesus, it’s always only you

Merry, Merry, Merry

Dear Lord, may this Christmas spirit

what you made us to be
