[Spoken Intro: Kirk Franklin]
You know, this holiday season, it is my sincere desire that you have a chance to really understand the true meaning of Christmas. I, myself, wasn't a holiday person growing up, we didn't have much. And the seasons were not the happiest times. But, as I got older, and really understood the meaning of the season. Had a chance to develop my own relationship. And I can guarantee now that nothing in the world could compare to the love that God had given me. So, I pray that you also found the same joy that I've found. And, to everyone of you, I hope you could truly say that someday that you rather have Jesus than silver and gold. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[Chorus: Kirk Franklin & The Family]

(Coming straight at 'cha)

(In Jesus's name. Come on, Family.)
