Christmas comes when we're ready. If not, it can be a confusing and stressful time. This year, I found that I was ready. Here's a Christmas solo ballad.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
The night’s so dark, the rain’s so dreary
I‘m walking slow and I‘m cold, wet and weary
And I wish I had a nickel for every friend I left behind
I’m alone and barely sober, and I do believe it’s time
Chorus
I’m ready for the child to be born in Bethlehem
To let Him in my heart so that I’ll be born again
I’ll stand beneath the star, shining grace on all my sins
And bring my gifts to the baby, born in Bethlehem
Verse 2
The days drift by, and I’m still breathing
Getting by without a whole lot of believing
But I just received a present, it’s a joy for all to see
It’s the good news that is Christmas
And the hope that dawns in me
Chorus
Bridge
Now I understand those shepherds
who lived so long ago
On their knees before the star
that set their hearts aglow
Chorus
They were ready for the child to be born in Bethlehem
To let Him in their heart so that they’ll be born again
They stood beneath the star, shining grace on all their sins
And bring their gifts to the baby, born in Bethlehem
I’ll bring my gifts to the baby, born in Bethlehem
