This Is Christmas
Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Resting by the Christmas lights?
Could there be something you forgot?
Beyond the bows and mistletoe
The tree with presents wrapped below
There's more to this than you had ever thought
What is Christmas?
If there never was a savior wrapped in a manger
What is Christmas without Christ?
Remember how the story goes
God's gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes
Beneath the star, one great and holy night
The shepherds heard the angels sing
The wise man brought an offering
Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem
Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas?
If there never was a savior wrapped in a manger
What is Christmas?
If the angels never sang
Glory to the new born king?
What is Christmas without Christ?
There'd be no Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria
In excelsis deo
What is Christmas?
(Joy to the world)
If there never was a savior wrapped in a manger
(Joy to the world)
What is Christmas without Christ?
This is Christmas
It's all about the savior wrapped in a manger
(Joy to the world)
This is Christmas because of Jesus Christ
(Gloria)
This is Christmas
(In excelsis deo)
Because of Christ
(In excelsis deo)
Because of Christ
The lyrics to Kutless's song "This Is Christmas" are a poignant reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

The song questions if we have lost the reason for the season and what Christmas would be without Christ.
The song reminds us of the story that God's greatest gift was born on a holy night, wrapped in swaddling clothes, with shepherds and wise men bearing witness.

The song concludes that Christmas is all about Jesus Christ.
Overall, "This Is Christmas" serves as a powerful and thought-provoking reminder of the true meaning of the holiday season. With its powerful lyrics and simple message, the song prompts listeners to reflect on the importance of faith and togetherness during this time of year.

Do you find it hard to sleep tonight
Resting by the Christmas lights?
Could there be something you forgot?
Are you restless under the bright, twinkling lights of Christmas? Perhaps you feel like something is missing.
Beyond the bows and mistletoe
The tree with presents wrapped below
There's more to this than you had ever thought
The decorative ribbons and bows, the presents nestled beneath the tree, and the kisses exchanged under the mistletoe are just the surface of the festive occasion.
Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?
What is Christmas?
If there never was a savior wrapped in a manger
What is Christmas without Christ?
Have we, as a society, forgotten the real purpose of celebrating Christmas? Without the birth of Jesus Christ, what would this day really commemorate?
Remember how the story goes
God's gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes
Beneath the star, one great and holy night
Recall the story of Christmas- the savior of humanity came wrapped in strips of cloth and was born in humble circumstances under a starry sky.
The shepherds heard the angels sing
The wise man brought an offering
Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem
The angelic beings serenaded the shepherds with songs of a miraculous birth, while wise men arrived at the scene with precious gifts. The town of Bethlehem marked the beginning of peace on Earth.
If the angels never sang
Glory to the new born king?
What is Christmas without Christ?
Without the angels proclaiming the birth of the new king, what would this festive day be worth, without Jesus who is its reason and purpose?
There'd be no Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria
In excelsis deo
Without God's salvation, the praises we're singing to celebrate the season of Christmas would all be pointless and empty.
This is Christmas
It's all about the savior wrapped in a manger
(Joy to the world)
This is Christmas because of Jesus Christ
(Gloria)
This is Christmas
(In excelsis deo)
Because of Christ
(In excelsis deo)
This time of merriment and cheer is solely about the birth of Jesus, the savior of mankind, wrapped in cloth and lying in the manger. Joy to the world because of Jesus, Glory be to God in the highest heaven, Christmas is because of Christ the Lord.

Lyrics:
Do you find it hard to sleep tonight?
Resting by the Christmas lights....
Could there be – Something you forgot..??
Beyond the bows and mistletoe...
The tree with presents wrapped below...
There’s more to this than you have ever thought...
Have we lost the reason that – We celebrate each year?
What is Christmas?!
If there never was a saviour, wrapped in a manger?
What is Christmas, without Christ?!
Remember how the story goes,
God’s gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes,
Beneath the star, one great and holy night.
The shepherds heard the angels sing...
And wise men brought an offering,
“Peace on Earth!”... began in Betlehem.
Have we lost the reason that – We celebrate each year?
What is Christmas?!
If there never was a saviour, wrapped in a manger?
What is Christmas, if the angles never sang “Glory to the newborn King!” ?!
What is Christmas without Christ?!
There’d be no
Gloooo—ria in excelesis deo....
Gloooo—ria in excelesis deo!
What is Christmas?!
If there never was a saviour, wrapped in a manger?
What is Christmas without Christ...?
This is Christmas!
It’s all about a saviour, wrapped in a manger!
This is Christmas, because of Jesus Christ!
This is Christmas because of Christ, because of Christ!
