2023 Christmas Vent (Bonus Track) Lyrics

Yeah, Merry Christmas, you know I'm so gifted

But I do it all for the greatest gift God sent, man

On that O Holy Night, a baby wrapped away in a manger

33 years later, that baby would become humanity's Savior

God sent Joy to the world on that silent night

But I'm still spending nights trying not to lose this fight

Yeah, I keep reminding myself of the real reason for this season

It's not the tree or the presents or the lights that are beaming

It's the baby that was born of a virgin

It doesn't matter how pretty you deck the halls

Without Christ, you'll still be hurting

Man listen, this is urgent, this is for all the people searching

Jesus left Heaven to be born in the lowest of lows, now that's service

And for all my people mourning, I feel you

I have people in my life who aren't here with me

Yeah, it hurts, too many empty seats at my table

Lately, I'm jus leaning on the peace on Earth He brought with Him

Aye, last Christmas brought a feeling I wish I had never let slip

Now, all I want for Christmas is for my family to put their differences aside and forgive

But I don't always get what I want, scared I'll start acting like the Grinch

Ba-Hum-Bug, God, why does my Spirit feel like this

When this season is supposed to be full of joy

God, I'm bringing what I have to you, like the little drummer boy

It's not much but I pray You use me, but before You do please fill the void

That's in my heart before my holiday is destroyed

Hey, do you hear what I hear, it's a ringing

No jingle bells, God is at the door, angels singing

"O Come All Ye Faithful," I guess He heard my cry for help

God, You can bring us peace, joy, love, forgiveness, yes, we need You now

Send Your Spirit to lift us this season, we need it

Send Your Spirit to lift us this season, we need it

In the end, it all happens for a reason

God's plan is perfect and everlasting, unlike the seasons

No matter how they change, even through all kinds of treason

Everything's useful to God, look at the story of Jesus

One night in Bethlehem, He's a baby in a manger

Next thing you know, He's betrayed and dying for us, what a Savior

Yeah, He was the outcast, like Rudolph, there's no one else like Him

Bringing life to the lifeless, like Frosty, but without the magic

He's a miracle worker, but born of a virgin

Everything about His love feels like home, so nostalgic

Washed our sins white as snow

That's why I call it a white Christmas

Cause my soul was dark, it would've scared Jack Skellington

But God stepped in, sent His Son, gave us forgiveness

Yeah, let us never forget it

Christmastime is here, let's not forget Jesus

The greatest gift that could ever be given, a Savior sent to redeem us
