Born to Die (A Song for Christmas)

As we gather round the Christmas tree full of gifts and lights
 We miss and hug, we're warm and snug
 What a lovely sight
 But in all the celebration we've forgotten why He came
 So that we can live abundantly without guilt and shame
 I am oh so glad that he was born
 On that special night
 I thank you Lord for your unfailing love
 You were Born to Die
 Sometimes we get so wrapped up
 In the season
 We lose sight of the reason
 In all our silver bells and mistletoe
 The Father wants you to know that He has sent His Son
 From heaven's throne
 Down to a manger bed
 And they nailed his hands and feet to a cross
 When it should have been me instead
 I am oh so glad that he was born
 On that special night
 I thank you Lord for your unfailing love
 You were Born to Die
 Oh yeah
 Lord I thank you for all that you've done. You gave your life
 You were born to die. Thank you Lord for your unfailing love. You were born to die
