She lit a candle in a downtown cathedral
|
Quietly confessing, counting on a blessing
|
She looked as if she had nowhere to go
|
I could see her weeping
|
Hands together hoping you would hear...
|
|
This is the time of year
|
We hold our families near
|
But God let us be a friend to the hurting
|
|
Oh Emmanuel, God with us
|
Spirit revealed in us
|
That we may be your hope to the world
|
Oh Emmanuel, God with us
|
With a light to break the darkness
|
That we may show your hope to the world
|
Emmanuel, God with us
|
Be God in us
|
|
I moved in closer just so I could see her face
|
Maybe she was a mother
|
Someone's only daughter
|
Her silver hair shimmered like the snow
|
Christmas bells were ringing
|
Now beside her kneeling I asked her name
|
|
(And she said)
|
This was the time of year
|
I had my family near
|
But they've all gone and I have been so lonely
|
(Chorus)
|
|
So with my family that Christmas day
|
A girl of sixty years would laugh and play
|
And as we watched her dance our eyes were full of tears...
|
(chours)
