Children Again

We found one in a closet and

One in a drawer

There's no hiding place

We won't find anymore

We'd shake every present

For any small clue

Of what lies beneath the

Words “from me to you”

But for every present left under a tree

There are things that

We hoped for and never received

And the years and

The yearning can make us forget

To be filled with wonder instead of regret

But Christmas is calling again

Leading us to Bethlehem

Where a child is waiting for you

When grown up dreams

Don't come true

It sounds crazy but a baby

Can make us all children again

When you want to forgive

But the wound is so deep

And you ache for forgiveness

For the secrets you keep

When the flower of your heart

Only feels like a thorn

And you long for the child that

You were before

Christmas is calling again

Leading you to Bethlehem

Where a child is waiting for you

When grown up dreams don't come true

It sounds crazy but a baby

Can make us all children again

Afraid to be strangers

We circle the manger

And kneel down beside it again

But he wishes that we would crawl in

Where a child is waiting for you

When grown up dreams don't come true

It sounds crazy that a baby

Would ask for our hearts made of stone

And then give us a heart like his own

If we let him he will begin

To make us all children again

We will be children again

God wrapped a gift that he hid in the world

Deep in the womb of an innocent girl

But when we were ready and on a dirt floor

Love found a way in and left open the door
