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   God, they need you      We need you to get us through   I need you   God, I need you      Jesus love's me, this I know   For the Bible tells me so   Little ones to Him belong   We are weak but He is strong
