Lyrics

And (Gsus2)with this (D)Christ mas (Asus)wish is missed the point I could con vey.

If on ly I could find the words to say to let You know how much You’ve touched my life.

Be cause here is (D)where You’re find ing me, in the ex (Bm7)act same place as New Year’s Eve.

And from a lack of my per sist en cy, we’re less than (A)half as close as I want to be.

And the (Gsus2)first time that You (Asus)o pened Your eyes, did You (Bm7)re al ize that You would (Dmaj7)be my Sav ior?

And the (Gsus2)first breath

that (Asus)left Your lips, did You (Bm7)know that it would change this (D)world for ev er?

And the (G)first time that You (A)o pened Your eyes, did You (Bm7)re al ize that You would (D)be my Sav ior?

And the (G)first breath

that (A)left Your lips, did You (Bm7)know that it would change this (D)world for ev er.

And (Gsus2)so, this Christ mas I’ll com pare the (Bm7)things I felt in pri or years to (Gsus2)what this mid night made so clear, that (Asus)You have come to meet me here.

To look (Gmaj7)back

and (A)think (D)that

this (Em9)ba by would (A)one day save me.

And the hope (Gmaj7)that,

that (A)You (D)give, that You (Em9)were born so I might real ly (G)live.

To look (Gmaj7)back

and (A)think (D)that

this (Em9)ba by would (A)one day save me.

The (Gsus2)first time that You (Asus)o pened Your eyes, did You (Bm7)re al ize that You would (Dmaj7)be my Sav ior?

And the (Gsus2)first breath

that (A)left Your lips, did You (Bm7)know that it would change this (Dmaj7)world for ev er?

And the (G)first time that You (A)o pened Your eyes, did You (Bm7)re al ize that You would (D)be my Sav ior?

And the (G)first breath

that (A)left Your lips, did You (Bm7)know that it would change this (D)world for ev er?

And I,

I (Asus)cel e brate the day

that (Gsus2)You were born to die,

so (Asus)I could one day (Bm7)pray for You to save my life,

(Bm7)pray for You to save my life,

(Em)pray for You to save my (D)life.
