I never thought this would happen to me I was too proud wouldn't let myself see Now I admit that I should have known better Now looking back I can read it like a letter So I can tell you how I almost slept through Christmas this year There was a blizzard outside, I was inside where its warm I had a heavy lunch, I had way too much eggnog so I laid down on the couch, thought it wouldn't do no harm I started to doze off but forgot to set my alarm and thats how I almost slept through Christmas this year

He Was A Boy 02:48
He was a boy just like me He had a mom just like me He learned to walk just like me He learned to talk just like me But He had a way with words He had a way of speaking the truth He had an air about Him When He talked the mountains moved He was a man just like me He had a heart just like me He had eyes just like me He had hands and two feet But He had a way of picking fights He had a way of picking friends He had a way of seeing He could see into the hearts of men He had sweat just like me He had tears just like me He had blood just like me He had a spirit just like me But He had a way of living He was a stranger He was alone He had a way of forgiving He had a way of going home

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us; to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High (His name will be John) for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways (His name will be John) to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace

Who are you? What have you done? Like an arrow shot at the sun Who are you? What have you done? You're the last one We've all been waiting for you so he can come You're the last one
