My First Christmas in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir here I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing I know how much you miss me; I see the pain inside your heart But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above I sent you each a memory of my undying love After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold It was always most important in the stories Jesus told Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do For I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year
