DON’T SPEAK OF “THE MAGIC” OF CHRISTMAS

Don’t speak of the “magic” of Christmas
 For magic had no part to play
In the miraculous birth of the Saviour
 On that night long ago, far away,

For magic is fake and deception,
 The tool of the “father of lies”,
While Jesus is Truth and Perfection,
 The Master of earth and the skies.

Don’t speak of the “magic” of Christmas
 For magic had nothing to do
With the birth of God’s Son to a virgin,
 In Bethlehem, to Mary, a Jew.

The miraculous birth of that Baby
 Was wrought by the power of God;
No magical spell could perform it
 For magic and spells are a fraud.

No, there’s nothing of magic in Christmas
 Except what the world has brought in.
The day marks the birth of the Saviour
 Who would die to save us from sin.

The Bible makes no mention of Christmas
 For what the observation is worth;
In fact, but very few people
 Were informed of the miraculous birth.

So don’t speak of the “magic” of Christmas
 For magic could never have done
What God’s supreme power has accomplished
 Through the marvellous gift of His Son.
