• Christmas Day: "I Celebrate the Day"

  I Celebrate the Day
  by Matthew Thiessen

  And with this Christmas wish is missed
  The point I could convey
  If only I could find the words to say to let You know
  How much You’ve touched my life because
  
  Here is where You’re finding me
  In the exact same place as New Years Eve
  And from a lack of my persistency
  We’re less than half as close as I want to be
  
  The first time that You opened Your eyes
  Did You realize that You would be my Savior?
  And the first breath that left Your lips
  Did You know that it would change this world forever?
  
  And so this Christmas I’ll compare
  The things I felt in prior years
  To what this midnight made so clear
  But You have come to meet me here
  
  To look back, Think that
  This Baby would one day save me
  And the hope that, That You give
  That You were born so I might really live
  
  To look back, And think that
  This Baby would one day save me
  And I, I celebrate the day
  That You were born to die
  So I could one day pray for You to save my life
