Description

Lyrics

Busy shopping malls and crowded stores People wandering, what are they looking for? Piles of presents and paper tossed about “Where is His presence?” I want to shout Seeking hope in a wind-up toy Seeking peace in a world of noise Seeking life at the five-and-dime We’ve lost the truth of Christmastime But you call me back to the manger You call me back to the cross Where I meet a holy stranger And count this all as loss For you sent the world a Savior Who paid the highest cost So we could live a life of abundance So we could find him when we’re lost I find myself caught up in the race again Even though I know no one can ever win I want approval, acceptance, and even love I’m looking around me, not looking up Seeking hope in a wind-up toy Seeking peace in a world of noise Seeking life at the five-and-dime We’ve lost the truth of Christmastime But you call me back to the manger You call me back to the cross Where I meet a holy stranger And count this all as loss For you sent the world a Savior Who paid the highest cost So we could live a life of abundance So we could find him when we’re lost It’s time to worship you, to fall upon our knees Before the only son of God He gives us eyes made new, so that we can see The greatest gifts cannot be bought
