Oh the summer came and the summer went
The autumn did the same
We tried so hard to understand
That complicated game
The moon lit up our way ahead
And the stars came out to greet us
Our breath was seen on the cold night air
As we gazed upon that miracle
I didn't need to know you
You didn't have a name
Someone stole your heart that night
An angel so you claimed
There's a fine, fine line
That keeps us all from turning
There's a hard, hard lesson
We should have learned by now
There's a big, wide sky
That we're all living under
If the truth is out there
I don't want to know
She said that I've found comfort
I want to share with you
She told me of her visions
And how they'd all come true
She clutched that book close to her breast
She closed her tired eyes
She whispered that salvation
Was just a prayer away
It was just another Christmas Eve
In another little town
But she was so convinced
It was the answer she had found
The Salvation Army sisters were playing
Tambourines and Flutes
The Jesus Army were bombing love
Upon their new recruits
The Witnesses were in the streets
They were showing me the light
All holy Icons vanquished on that
Revelation night
So winter turns to spring again
And do you still believe?
The book and verse that hold your life
You found on Christmas Eve
That night in late December
You joined in holy union
Do you still believe, beyond all doubt?
That was the only way
You say it's real, it's so beautiful
It's the love I've never known
I'd gladly give my life to them
My possessions and my home
