lyrics

VERSE ONE:
They said I gotta say - happy holidays
Cause Christmas is the wrong thing to say
Well I sure gotta confess - this really is a mess
And there's one thing I never will erase
You can't take Jesus out of Christmas
He is the reason we're making all this fuss

CHORUS:
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
A Merry, Merry, Merry, Christmas
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
But Jesus, it won't be Christmas without you

VERSE TWO:
The gifts are brightly wrapped - underneath the tree
But the best one - is written on my heart
Until you finally see - this gift that's truly free
We'll keep singing - bout this Jesus holiday!
You can't take Jesus out of Christmas
He is the reason we're making all this fuss

CHORUS
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
A Merry, Merry, Merry, Christmas
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
But Jesus, it won't be Christmas without you

BRIDGE:
So play your carols -- come on ring those bells
Emmanuel has come
All together now
let heaven and nature sing!

INSTRUMENTAL

You can't - take - Jesus - out of Christmas
He is the reason we're making all this fuss

CHORUS:
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
A Merry, Merry, Merry, Christmas
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
But Jesus, we want you with us
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
A Merry, Merry, Merry, Christmas
It's gonna be a Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
But Jesus, it won't be Christmas without you
