The first Christmas tree was on Mount Calvary

 

There wasn't a star on top to adorn

Only a crown of thorns

 

There wasn't any silver gloss

Only a rugged cross

 

There were not red and white candy canes

Only the nails that brought him pain

 

There wasn't any bright lights

But now mankind could be made right

 

There wasn't any presents under the tree

But there was the gift of salvation for you and me
