Ribbons and Bows

Dear God it’s been awhile

I’m not sure what to say

But the lights are on the tree

And the family’s on their way

And I just thought I would pray

It’s been a hard year

I’ve barely made it through

I thought Christmas time would help

But I’m tired and overwhelmed

And I don’t know what to do

I’m never one to make a Christmas list

But I’m needin’ something only you can give

Can’t hold it in my hands

Can’t wrap it up with all the ribbons and bows (ribbons and bows)

I need to feel it down deep in my soul

All I want for Christmas this year

Is a little Hope

Seems like a small thing

Considering all you’ve done

Let me hear a choir sing

Or let a stranger on the street

remind me I am loved

remind me I am loved

Oh God, I need a little

Hope, let me feel it in my soul

Let this sorrow break

Let my heart be filled on Christmas
