Is It Christmas Even? (Capo #5)

    G                          C              G
The sun has long gone down and nestled in its bed
           C               G
but in the morning will be here again
            C               Am
to wrap its rays around the Savior’s head.

G                               C              G
When that day repeats—when it’s Christmastime again
    C                  G
the Savior’s face puts forth the flames
       C          Am
that illuminate Jerusalem.

G                    C                  G
Sinners come inside. Nations bring your gifts.
       C                      G
Follow Old Saint Nick and the three wise men:
        C                Am
they’ll show you what contrition is.

       G                              C             G
As the mistletoe hangs low, you stand waiting for a kiss.
         C                G
Remember heaven will come down like this,
    C              Am                  G
and every day will feel like Christmas day.
