about

Anyone who knows me knows I am not hugely into Christmas music; the repetition and the commercial aspects have always turned me off a little. However, there have always been a couple songs that still touch my heart despite my more cynical leanings, and I have tried to recreate some of that feeling in this song about the season.

lyrics

The snow comes down
upon the rich and poor alike
but we're all equal in God's sight
The cold seeps in
around our doors and window panes
but roaring fires hold back the cold night

The stars are out tonight
but it's a child who shines this light

c.
It's the perfect time of year
to remember who made me
to remember a child that saved me
The perfect time of year
for praising a Saviour
who once was a simple child like me

A virgin gave
birth to a little boy in hay
no trappings of the rich and famous
But nothing could
match what he came to give away
a life of perfect love so gracious

The stars are out tonight
but it's a child who shines this light

c.
It's the perfect time of year
to remember who made me
to remember a child that saved me
The perfect time of year
for praising a Saviour
who once was a simple child like me

The Son He came
To give us hope and joy in full
A sacrifice of love and patience
So let us give
to others showing what it means
to know a man whose name is Jesus

The stars are out tonight
but it's a child who shines this light

It's the perfect time of year
to remember who made me
to remember a child that saved me
The perfect time of year
for praising a Saviour
who once was a simple child like me
