Jason Gray - Children Again 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 And 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 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 to be 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 a 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 But when we were ready and on a dirt floor Love found a way in and left open the door
