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
