Chapman, Steven Curtis - Christmas Is All In The Heart Lyrics






In a one bedroom apartment
On the humble side of town
There stands a little Christmas tree
Looks a lot like Charlie Brown's
And underneath there's one little gift for him
And one little gift for her

After six months on the new job
They're still barely getting by
So in the way of decorations
There's nothing there to catch your eye
But both of them
Would be the first to say
We're together
We're gonna have the merriest Christmas
Anyway

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart
That's where the feeling starts
And like a fire inside
It touches every heart
And even if no white snow falls
That's all right because
The joy can still be found
Wherever you are
'Cause Christmas is all
It's all in the heart

Two little blonde haired boys with big dreams
Tried to sleep but sleep wouldn't come
We'd be tearing into presents
Long before the break of dawn
With Mom and Dad and cameras making sure
We'd never forget that day

Now I'm the one who's taking pictures
In the middle of the night
Of my own blonde headed dreamers
That just can't wait until daylight
And in my sleepy eyes
The spark still glows
Well I guess there's just some things
A kid never outgrows

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart
That's where the feeling starts
And like a fire inside
It touches every part
Christmas is all in the heart
And even if no white snow falls
That's okay because
The joy can still be found
Wherever you are
'Cause Christmas is all
It's all in the heart

No, it's not in the snow
That may or may not fall
And it's not in the gifts
Around the tree
It's in the love heaven gave
The night our Savior came
And that same love
Can still be found where ever you are
'Cause Christmas is all in the heart
It's all in the heart

Chapman, Steven Curtis Christmas Is All In The Heart Comments
  1. L.... T....

    Still love this song/ video..One of my favorites of all time!! It reminds us to keep this Season in perspective and to cherish Christmas for what it truly is about! "LOVE"

  2. S.... K....

    I like Steven Curtis Chapman because he is no gimmick, just plain good music.

  3. d.... m....

    This song is the true meaning of Christmas. Love of giving

  4. S.... ....

    This still makes me cry my eyes out. I haven’t heard it in over a decade.

  5. a.... B....

    The 22 people that disliked this video...may I ask why? This song is so heartfelt and personal. It's so moving.
    I understand that Christmas for some is sad or bitter. So many people feel the same way. However, it doesn't have to be. It doesn't have to remain that way forever, for the rest of your life. You have a chance to turn it around. The best part? You don't have to do it alone.
    Use this song as a way to come to terms with past sorrows and losses, knowing whom you lost is in a better place, safe and sound for all eternity in Heaven. When you close your eyes and breathe, use this to really feel the presence of God while the song is playing. He's the only one that will bring true peace, joy, and hope for the season, and all year round. He can warm even the coldest of hearts.
    I hope whoever reads this, know that you aren't alone this Christmas/holiday season. Know that God is with you now, forever and always, and loves you deeper than the depths of the ocean and the vastness of the universe.

  23. D.... L....

    This is a beautiful song.  Jesus is the reason for the season.

    D.... L....

    only He was born in the fall, not December.

    D.... L....

    @srfrider1973 doesn't matter when he was actually born, as long as its celebrated, because he is the reason for the season....without Christmas, salvation would not have come. We would probably be bound by the old law. but thank God Jesus did come to save a sinner like me. 

    D.... L....

    i know, but theres too many non factual things said about this holiday so i thought id clear it up.

    D.... L....

    I understand and ppl will get so wrapped up in the day he was born. God is just good and I'm thankful he came.

  24. M.... P....

    I love this song!

  25. G.... H....

    reminds me of my first Christmas with my ex husband. very sad, but beautiful

    G.... H....

    +Gretchen Dean - I sang this song in a Christmas service in the late 90s at a small start up church where my ex-wife and I were working part time. Oh, how I loved her. I have chosen to thank God for the special years we had together. I am now embracing the new journey I am on, but I'll never forget those simple years when my heart was completely enveloped by the joy of being married to a wonderful person. Someone whom I thought would be my wife until death do us part. Sadness is definitely a resulting emotion from the loss we feel. Embracing the new isn't easy, but necessary for healing to take place. Both grieving and surrendering to Him what you once held tightly will bring joy on the other side of the difficult journey you are on. My heart goes out to you. The good news...so does the Father's heart who created you. He is in the journey with you. And He will never leave you.

  26. n.... ....

    you dont know how excited i was at buying this cd and reading the sleeve. watching these youtube videos is the closest i get to the magical feelings i got in the 90s listening to the Contemporary Christian Music Scene, particularly steven. His music had a profound effect on my life in my teens and I miss those times so much. Living in the Uk i never got to meet him although i really wanted to see him in concert
