“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.
