Take me back to eight years old

The little church on a dead end road

With a candle flicker in one handAnd dad′s hand in the other

Take me back to silent night

My heart was full and the world was right

'Cause right now the world looks nothin′ like

Those innocent Decembers

These days peace on Earth is hard to find

And I need you to remind me one more time

You're still the hope of Christmas

You're still the light when the world looks dark

You′re still the hope of Christmas

And You′re still the hope of my heart

Watch the snowflakes fallin' down

Like a blanket on this town

For a moment we can hardly see

The pain this year has brought us

May the sick find healing′s touch

May hatred's fight be one with love

And may every heart make room for You

The one who came to save us

′Cause You're still the hope of Christmas

You′re still the light when the world looks dark

You're still the hope of Christmas

And You're still the hope of my heart

You′re the hope of Christmas

I bowed my head to pray tonight

Felt my little girl by my side

She slipped her tiny hand in mine

And we both talked to You

And it took me back to 8 years old

My daddy′s hand and a story told

About Heaven's love and the manger lo

And a promise that′s still true

You're still the hope of Christmas

You′re still the light when the world looks dark

You're still the hope of Christmas

And You′re still the hope of my heart

You're still the hope of Christmas

You're still the light when the world looks dark

You′re still the hope of Christmas

You′re still the hope of my heart
