It's Christmas, my favourite time of year
But I seemed to have lost focus
The house is all prepared, but
My heart doesn't nearly feel there
I want you to be not just a declaration
But the reason for celebration
I want all hearts to know
Why there's Jesus in the Manger,
He shouldn't be a stranger,
This Christmas
God, I realize
That all this must hurt you
We really missed the point,
But I'll try my best to change that
I want you to be not just a declaration
But the reason for celebration
I want all hearts to know
Why there's Jesus in the Manger,
He shouldn't be a stranger,
This Christmas
We've tried for years
To fill our hearts with things that don't last
So I want you to be not just a declaration
But the reason for celebration
I want all hearts to know
Why there's Jesus in the Manger,
He shouldn't be a stranger,
This Christmas
We've finally found something that lasts
It's you
