God, it's safe to say it's been a tough year
The hardest one we've ever seen
The world has never cried so many tears
Or had so many broken dreams
We've got some bad things going on around us
We're killing each other senselessly
It seems we've learned to hate instead of love
I guess what I'm really trying to say
We need you
We need you
We need you
God, we need you
I know soon it's Your Son's birthday
And you must cry when it comes around
He gave His life for us and a better way
The day that cross hit the ground
So when we celebrate this Christmas
I hope you'll forgive us all somehow
And as our children open presents
I'll be praying for them now
They need you
They need you
They need you
