Here are the lyrics of two of my favorite Christmas songs. If you can, download the actual songs; they're really beautiful:

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
by Chris Rice

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from God
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child
Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long-awaited Holy Stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home

Bring Your peace into our violence

Bid our hungry souls be filled
Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around you
Brethe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God
Perfect Son of God
Welcome to our world


THE ATHEIST CHRISTMAS CAROL
by Vienna Teng

It's the season of grace coming out of the void

Where a man is saved by a voice in the distance

It's the season of possible miracle cures

Where hope is currency and death is not the last unknown

Where time begins to fade

And age is welcome home

It's the season of eyes meeting over the noise

And holding fast with sharp realization

It's the season of cold making warm the divine intervention

You are safe here, you know now

Don't forget

Don't forget I love, I love, I love you

Don't forget

Don't forget I love, I love, I love you

It's the season of scars and of wounds in the heart
Of feeling the full weight of our burdens
It's the season of bowing our heads in the wind
And knowing we are not alone in fear
Not alone in the dark

Don't forget

Don't forget I love, I love, I love you

Don't forget

Don't forget I love, I love, I love you
