Christmas lights along the street, Snow is soft under my feet. Every time I give a little thing, Something in my chest begins to sing.
When I make a little extra place, Pull a quiet name into the space, Every time I share what I can spare, Joy shows up like it was always there.
Every Christmas I can see, Keeping never feels as free.
Giving makes my heart feel light, Warmer than a winter night. I was made to give, not keep, That is why this joy runs deep.
When I share what is in my hands, Something bright in me expands. That is why it feels so good: I was made to live for someone's good.
When I slow my step to match your pace, Really see the moment in your face, Every time I trade my plans for you, Peace rolls in like skies turning blue.
All these candles, all this light, Show my heart that this is right.
Giving makes my heart feel light, Warmer than a winter night. I was made to give, not keep, That is why this joy runs deep.
When I share what is in my hands, Something bright in me expands. That is why it feels so good: I was made to live for someone's good.
Tiny baby in a bed of hay, Love slipped in a quiet, hidden way. Heaven gave its heart that holy night, Now our giving carries some of that light.
Giving makes my heart feel light, Glowing past the Christmas night. I was made to give, not keep, That is why this joy runs deep.
All the shining things fade from my view, But this simple truth keeps shining through: Every time I give the way I should, I remember why This giving feels so good.
