lyrics

There stood a shining Christmas tree
In the square for all to see
Its twinkling lights they caught the eye
And cheered the hearts of passers-by

Isn't it lovely shoppers say
Who stopped to gaze upon their way
The tree stretched high ablaze with light
With every candle burning bright

So light up your lives like the lights on the tree
Our love and goodwill is for others to see
We each have a space no one is too small
Together our lights will bring glory to all

With that glorious brilliance came
For every light had felt the same
Our gospel is like this Christmas tree
The little lights are you and me

We each have a space that we must fill
With love and light and our goodwill
Let's keep our lives ablaze with light
With this our message burning bright

So light up your lives like the lights on the tree
Our love and goodwill is for others to see
We each have a space no one is too small
Together our lights will bring glory to all
Bring Glory to all

So light up your lives like the lights on the tree (Light up! Oh-ah)
Our love and goodwill is for others to see (Our love and goodwill is to see)
We each have a space no one is too small (No one is too small)
Together our lights will bring glory to everything
Glory to all!
