Born to Die (A Song for Christmas)

As we gather round the Christmas tree full of gifts and lights We miss and hug, we're warm and snug What a lovely sight But in all the celebration we've forgotten why He came So that we can live abundantly without guilt and shame I am oh so glad that he was born On that special night I thank you Lord for your unfailing love You were Born to Die Sometimes we get so wrapped up In the season We lose sight of the reason In all our silver bells and mistletoe The Father wants you to know that He has sent His Son From heaven's throne Down to a manger bed And they nailed his hands and feet to a cross When it should have been me instead I am oh so glad that he was born On that special night I thank you Lord for your unfailing love You were Born to Die Oh yeah Lord I thank you for all that you've done. You gave your life You were born to die. Thank you Lord for your unfailing love. You were born to die
