Christmas Eve

lyricoc@yahoo.com

Sitting close, as I remember
In our Church for midnight mass
Again our family comes together
Another Christmas Eve is here

“Oh Holy Night” Mom is singing
With the choir, up in back
Crisp and clear, her voice is ringing
Breaking through our silent praise

With gifts and trees our minds are filled
But for more than presents we rejoice
Even though the air is chilled
The one bright star is burning 

New born baby in a manger
Grew to be our saving grace
Filling hearts of friends and strangers
Making Christmas oh so right

Lifting hands we worship our Lord
On this day, picked to remember
All our voices in one accord
Another year has come and passed

Hope and faith are in us, growing
Peace and love are spreading too
If year round we felt this, showing
We’d live as one along with Him
