Twila Paris's song "It's The Thought" reflects on the true meaning of Christmas, emphasizing that love, not material gifts, is what truly matters. The lyrics contrast the commercial side of the holiday with the profound gift of Jesus, who came as a lamb to Bethlehem and ultimately gave His life. Paris reminds listeners that God's love, demonstrated through Christ's sacrifice, is the ultimate expression of thoughtfulness. The song gently calls believers to remember the precious gift of salvation and to focus on love during the Christmas season.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
And a loving thought sends us out to find
Something special for someone on our mind
And we think of friends and family
As we hang our gifts on the Christmas tree
It's the thought that counts when the thought is love
It's the thought that counts when you're thinking of
How the money flows in vast amounts
When the thought is love it's the thought that counts
And a loving thought sent a snow white lamb
To a little town known as Bethlehem
And the little lamb thought of you and me
As He hung His gift on the Christmas tree
It's the thought that counts when the thought is love
It's the thought that counts when you're thinking of
How the money flows in vast amounts
It's the thought that counts when the thought is love
Think of the precious gift He gave
Think of the life He thought to save
And the blood flowed in vast amounts
When the thought is love, it's the thought that counts
When the thought is love, it's the thought that counts
When the thought is love, it's the thought that counts
