《How Did We Live Before Christmas?》歌词

[00:00:01] How Did We Live Before Christmas - Mark Lowry

[00:00:05] Christmas comes but once a year

[00:00:07] But what if it came more often

[00:00:09] It would bankrupt the economy

[00:00:11] Snow would surely wreck the ecology

[00:00:13] Kids would sing Jingle Bells till we're up a tree

[00:00:16] And drive us to an early coffin

[00:00:19] Christmas is a yearly thing

[00:00:21] And I'm really glad that it's so

[00:00:23] If it came around every other week

[00:00:25] We'd be so tired we could hardly speak

[00:00:28] Our checkbooks would be up a creek

[00:00:31] And we'd have to shorten ole Santa to just one "Ho "

[00:00:34] Yes once a year it rolls around

[00:00:36] On the 25th day of December

[00:00:39] Bringing cheery songs with cheery rhymes

[00:00:41] And shopping sprees that pass the time

[00:00:44] We have to stand in those weary lines

[00:00:47] And there's always someone I forget to remember

[00:00:51] But think with me for just a while

[00:00:53] Of a time before there was Christmas

[00:00:57] The time before the angels sang

[00:01:00] The time before the wise men came

[00:01:03] The time before we knew His name

[00:01:07] How did we live before Christmas

[00:01:09] The days before the stars so bright

[00:01:12] The years before that Silent Night

[00:01:15] Before the Savior brought the light

[00:01:18] How did we live before Christmas

[00:01:21] Did little children ever sing

[00:01:24] Did silver bells refuse to ring

[00:01:26] Did Hosannahs ever crown the king

[00:01:29] How did we live before Christmas

[00:01:32] Did winter's chill make faces glow

[00:01:35] Did lovers kiss neath mistletoe

[00:01:38] Try as I might I'll never know

[00:01:42] How did we live before Christmas

[00:01:45] A virgin bore the blessed gift of Christmas long ago

[00:01:49] All heaven wrapped in swaddling clothes

[00:01:53] Pure Deity from head to toe

[00:01:56] A baby boy with heaven's glow

[00:02:00] How did we live before Christmas

[00:02:04] So Christmas isn't gifts and toys

[00:02:07] Or waiting on St Nicholas

[00:02:09] Christmas is a Savior's birth

[00:02:13] A gift from heaven sent to earth

[00:02:16] To show the world just what it's worth

[00:02:22] How did we live before Christmas
