Comfort and Joy

Everybody's saying 'Merry Christmas' Everybody's smiling, singing happy songs But this December your world is unravelling And you don't feel like singing along Friends are sending cards with warmest wishes But you're feeling lonely, like a winter wind So take your heart back to the centre of the season There you see the gift that came to us in Bethlehem Jesus Christ He is heaven's love Here at last Forever God with us All our hope found in a baby boy He knew we needed comfort and joy There's no need to keep your tears from falling Sometimes what's most painful are those holidays But Christmas shows that God cares for us deeply The same boy in the manger holds you still today Jesus Christ He is heaven's love Here at last Forever God with us All our hope found in a baby boy He knew we needed comfort and joy Comfort and joy Comfort and joy For the widow and the orphan all alone For the prodigals and soldiers far from home The peace of God reaches down to every aching soul! Jesus Christ He is heaven's love Here at last Forever God with us All our hope found in a baby boy He knew our only comfort would be Jesus Christ He is heaven's love Here at last Forever God with us All our hope found in a baby boy He knew we needed comfort and joy He knew we needed comfort and joy He knew we needed comfort and joy
