Children Again

Song Children Again
Artist Jason Gray
Album Christmas Stories: Repeat the Sounding Joy

Lyrics

We found one in a closet
And one in a drawer
There's no hiding place
We won't find anymore
We'd shake every present
For any small clue
Of what lies beneath the words "From me to you"
But for every present left under a tree
There are things that we hoped for
And never received
The years and the yearning
Can make us forget
To be filled with wonder
Instead of regret
But Christmas is calling again
Leading us to
Bethlehem
Where a child is waiting for you
When grown up dreams don't come true
It sounds crazy, but a baby
Can make us all children again
When you want to forgive
But the wound is so deep
And you ache for forgiveness
For the secrets you keep
When the flower of your heart
Only feels like a thorn
And you long for the child
That you were before
But Christmas is calling again
Leading you to
Bethlehem
Where a child is waiting for you
When grown up dreams don't come true
It sounds crazy, but a baby
Can make us all children again
Afraid of these strangers
We circle the manger
And kneel down beside it again
But he wishes that we would crawl in
Where a child is waiting for you
When grown up dreams don't come true
It sounds crazy, that baby
Would ask for our hearts made of stone
And then give us a heart like his own
If we let him, he will begin
To make us all children again
We will be children again
God wrapped a gift
That he hid in the world
Deep in the womb of an innocent girl
When we were ready and on a dirt floor
Love found a way in and left open the door
