This Hallmark Moment

cold december 25
i think of everything that means so much to me
and the gift you gave
2,000 years and still so many choose not to believe

we see it for ourselves
but never understand the meaning
years of promises
never spoke again until succumbed to visions so deceiving

cold december 31
another year has passed resolve to seek your face
pray you'll hold me close
carried through these days enveloped in your grace

we've lost it all along the way
and now there's nothing left to say
it's gone it's gone away
you're gone you're gone away
we search for ways that we make it better
but on our own we're going to search forever
