The Hope Of Christmas

Lyrics

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 I bowed my head to pray tonight Felt my little girl by my side She slipped her tiny hand in mine And we both talked to You And it took me back to eight years old My daddy's hand and a story told About Heaven's love in a manger low And a promise that's still true 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
