Why can’t the love and hope inspired by the myth and magic of Christmas live with us all year? Can the bells remind us to keep others in our hearts? It’s not about religion. It’s about what’s missing from religion - human kindness.

lyrics

Bells of Christmas (written by Jack Bashwiner)

Christmas trees dressed in gold green and perfect
And the snow makes a blanket of white
Stars glitter above
And our hearts find the love
That for most of the year has gone missing

It's a time for some quiet reflection
To give thanks for our families and friends
And remember the others sisters and brothers
And wash the blood from our hands

Christmas angels better angels of our hearts and our dreams
Send a message of hope and redemption
if one heart can listen if one spirit can sing
Let the bells of Christmas ring

Can a world lost to anger and madness
Hear the gift that the season can bring
Giving peace to all children their fathers their mothers
Let the bells of Christmas ring

Let the steeples stand tall against darkness and fear
Let the bells of Christmas ring
