“The Hope of Christmas”
Take me back to eight years old
The little church on a dead-end road
With a candle flicker in one hand and Dad’s hand in the other
Take me back to Silent Night
My heart was full and the world was right
‘Cause right now the world looks nothing like those innocent Decembers
These days peace on earth is hard to find
And I need you to remind me one more time
You’re still the hope of Christmas
You’re still the light when thе world looks dark
You’re still the hope of Christmas
And You’rе still the hope of my heart
Watch the snowflakes falling down
Like a blanket on this town
For a moment we can hardly see the pain this year has brought us
May the sick find healing’s touch
May hatred’s fight be won with love
And may every heart make room for You, the One who came to save us
You’re still the hope of Christmas
You’re still the light when the world looks dark
You’re still the hope of Christmas
And You’re still the hope of my heart
