"Don't Take Christmas" lyrics

God
Please don't let
Our regrets
Life or death
Take Christmas away

And God
If they try
Please deny
Them the right
To take Christmas away

Please extend goodwill toward men
And give us peace we can't understand
Don't give sadness a chance
To steal Christmas

Lord
Please diffuse
Every war
And dispute
That gets in the way

'Cause Lord
If you don't
Ease the load
The explosion will
Push it away

Lift our burdens and our guards
And bring a stillness to our thoughts
And concern to a pause
While it's still Christmas now

Let the fa la las
Turn into Hallelujah!
We'll rejoice in the calm
Of the storm
'Cause we know it won't
Take Christmas

Oh no it, oh no it won't
Oh no it, oh no it won't
Oh no it, oh no it won't
