Open Heart

Christmas in the hospital That's not how tradition goes, yet here we are You need surgery, but they're no openings Until New Year's Eve, so here we are And I can't help but think about Christ And the way he stepped into this life To a world full of sin With no room at the inn Still he entered the depths of our strife And the similarities they abound As you lay in that hospital gown For in weakness He came For the sick and the lame That the true light of God might be found There's no ornaments, or fancy tree Just humble circumstance this Christmas Eve And you might think it's of no consequence But it means everything, eternally We all need An open heart To receive This gift of love So would everyone Prepare Him room For "God with us" To come and rule
