lyrics
On This Christmas Eve

-
On this Christmas Eve
I sit here wishing
I was alive in the times of John
to be a deciple
to he who bore witness
to be among the few
who were chosen
to do the business
the sacred business
of protecting
baby Jesus

-
to smell the air
to taste the water
that He did breathe
that He did drink
to think in the moment
of absolute purity
to know with complete surety
the world was changing
an amazing rearranging
in the name of the Lord

-
to be a part of the miracle
of the opening of heaven's gate
where life wasn't at the end of a sword
where the persecuted would recieve
their just reward
to be certain that eternal life
was there for the taking
to awaken in Eden's simple splendor
to know I was loved
by he who I adored
by he who I adored

-
time unfortunately hasn't changed much
evil too easily finds the hearts of men
I wonder out loud, why all haven't felt His touch
but I truly believe, it's not a matter of time, but when

-
On this Christmas Eve
I sit here wishing
I was alive in the times of John
to be a deciple
to he who bore witness
to be among the few
who were chosen
to do the business
the sacred business
of protecting
baby Jesus
