[Verse 1]
Cold sky
Quiet street
Every window glowing
But my heart incomplete
All the gifts
All the songs we sing
Still I’m searching for the center
Of this winter thing
Then I hear that carol rising
From a distant choir
Words I knew as a child
Set my soul on fire
[Pre-Chorus]
O holy night
Everything changes
Heaven breaks into our history
Light in the dark
Love in a manger
Jesus
You came close to me
[Chorus]
Jesus
You’re the reason for Christmas
Not the lights
Not the list in my hands
You are the promise the prophets were dreaming
Hope wrapped in swaddling bands
Jesus
You’re the reason I’m breathing
Every heartbeat singing Your name
O holy night
When You stepped into time
Forever my world was changed
[Verse 2]
Crowded mall
Rushing through the noise
But Your peace keeps calling
Like a steady voice
From the star
To the shepherds’ field
Every story
Every sign
Says Your love is real
You left glory for our weakness
Chose our dust and scars
King of all creation
Laying under stars
[Pre-Chorus]
O holy night
Everything changes
Heaven breaks into our history
Light in the dark
Love in a manger
Jesus
You came close to me
[Chorus]
Jesus
You’re the reason for Christmas
Not the lights
Not the list in my hands
You are the promise the prophets were dreaming
Hope wrapped in swaddling bands
Jesus
You’re the reason I’m breathing
Every heartbeat singing Your name
O holy night
When You stepped into time
Forever my world was changed
[Bridge]
High and lifted
Yet You’re here with us (here with us)
Perfect Savior
In our brokenness
Every knee will bow
Every tongue confess
But tonight I bow my heart
In simple faith
[Chorus]
Jesus
You’re the reason for Christmas
Not the lights
Not the list in my hands
You are the promise the prophets were dreaming
Hope wrapped in swaddling bands
Jesus
You’re the reason I’m breathing
Every heartbeat singing Your name
O holy night
When You stepped into time
Forever my world was changed
[Outro]
O holy night
Love came for me
Jesus
You’re my song
For all eternity
