The place has been prepared
Strings of lights and holly
Are draped across the chair
The family's all together
I know where they must be
Everyone is searching
For the perfect tree
Chorus:
The perfect tree
Grew very long ago
And it was not decked with silver
Or with ornaments of gold
But hanging from it's branches
Was a gift for you and me
Jesus laid His life down
On the perfect tree
Mother wants a straight one
The children want it tall
Dad just hopes that somehow
He can get it down the hall
Soon they'll gather round it
As proud as they can be
But when they're looking at it
I wonder if they see
Chorus (repeat)
With all the celebrations
Sometimes the truth is lost
That every step this baby took
Brought Him closer to the cross
Chorus (repeat 2X)
The ornaments are ready The place has been prepared Strings of lights and holly Are draped across the chair The family's all together I know where they must be Everyone is searching For the perfect tree Chorus: The perfect tree Grew very long ago And it was not decked with silver Or with ornaments of gold But hanging from it's branches Was a gift for you and me Jesus laid His life down On the perfect tree Mother wants a straight one The children want it tall Dad just hopes that somehow He can get it down the hall Soon they'll gather round it As proud as they can be But when they're looking at it I wonder if they see Chorus (repeat) With all the celebrations Sometimes the truth is lost That every step this baby took Brought Him closer to the cross Chorus (repeat 2X) Explain Request ×
