[Verse 1]
Out here is the country there's magic in the air
It's the middle of December there's excitement everywhere
Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what's in your heart and not what's in your hand

[Chorus]
And who's the one we need to thank, who's the party for
Who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
Who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
The preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary's boy

[Verse 2]
There were times we didn't think we'd make it through the year
The banker tried to take our farms but somehow we're still here
I don't know how our crops survived the drought and then the rain
It must have been a miracle, how else could you explain

[Chorus]
And who's the one we need to thank, and who's the party for
And who's the one responsible for all this peace and joy
And who deserves the credit for the blessings we enjoy
The preacher said last Sunday it was Joseph and Mary's boy
The Christ Child born in Bethlehem, Joseph and Mary's boy

[Outro]
Everyone's invited, the celebration's planned
The gift is just what's in your hearts and not what's in your hands
