The holy night is near
Children filled with anxiousness
For the birth of Christ and
All the wonderful presents
Year after year
The music plays the same
So often we miss the point
As though this is some sort of game
There is no one
To hold account
We all have free will
Eventually we rethink
This is a special time of year
Don’t want to bring gloom
Somehow we have rewritten it
Tried to change the mood
Christ came to give salvation
We turned it into games
He was born because we’re sinners
To save us from the flames
It is time for us to access
Turn our lives around
Be willing to carry His cross
Build our life on solid ground
It is the time of year for children
We’re all children in a way
We have selfish tendencies
Have to change our ways
He was born to be a King
To teach us how to pray
We rejected and nailed Him
A burden we have to carry
So this is a new beginning
A chance to get things right
Use every chance to serve Him
Keep His sacred path in sight
