This Christmas
Finding Redemption in December's Sky: This Christmas by Chris August
Lyrics
Every winter
Reflecting on each winter season.
I watch it come and go
Observing the arrival and departure of winter.
I see the splendor
Noticing the beauty and magnificence.
But leave it covered in snow
Seeing beauty hidden beneath the snow.
I guess somehow I just allowed
Admitting to allowing emotional detachment.
To let my heart grow cold
Acknowledging a coldness in the heart.
One half faded one half jaded
Describing a divided and worn-out heart.
But in this burn out I hope
Expressing hope despite burnout.
Of all the stars in this December sky
Seeking a specific star in the December sky.
I need the one that
Desiring a connection to the star leading to Christ.
Led them to You back then
Referencing the star that guided the wise men to Jesus.
Point it out cause Lord I'm done with
Expressing a desire to move beyond written wishes.
All these written wishes
Rejecting materialistic desires.
When all I want is forgiveness
Expressing a need for forgiveness.
Jesus be the star
Asking Jesus to be the guiding star.
That leads me back to You this Christmas
Desiring a spiritual connection with Jesus at Christmas.
Break the surface
Expressing a need for a deeper experience.
Cause I need more than a play
Desiring more than superficial displays of faith.
A Sundays service
Criticizing staged religious performances.
With staged up snow and hay
Rejecting superficial symbolism.
I need the Spirit to remind me
Expressing a need for spiritual reminders.
Why You even came
Questioning the purpose of Jesus' arrival.
And to thank You that You're still here
Gratitude for Jesus' continued presence.
When we all turned You away
Acknowledging humanity's rejection of Jesus.
Of all the stars in this December sky
Reiterating the desire for a specific guiding star.
I need the one that
Reemphasizing the need for a connection to the past.
Led them to You back then
Pointing to the star that led to Jesus.
Point it out cause Lord I'm done with
Expressing a desire to move beyond written wishes.
All these written wishes
Rejecting materialistic desires.
When all I want is forgiveness
Expressing a need for forgiveness.
Jesus be the star
Asking Jesus to be the guiding star.
That leads me back to You this Christmas
Desiring a spiritual connection with Jesus at Christmas.
Show me to the road
Seeking guidance on the journey ahead.
Cause I'm all packed up to go
Ready and prepared for the journey.
Lord, I'm walking I'm not stopping
Expressing determination to continue until finding hope.
Til I'm face to face with hope
Striving to encounter hope face to face.
Of all the stars in this December sky
Reiterating the desire for a specific guiding star.
I need the one that
Reemphasizing the need for a connection to the past.
Led them to You back then
Pointing to the star that led to Jesus.
Point it out cause Lord I'm done with
Expressing a desire to move beyond written wishes.
All these written wishes
Rejecting materialistic desires.
When all I want is forgiveness
Expressing a need for forgiveness.
Jesus be the star
Asking Jesus to be the guiding star.
That leads me back to You this Christmas
Desiring a spiritual connection with Jesus at Christmas.
