Cannot Be Taken

Remember back to what feels like forever To when it was a plain and simple day We were so naive to think that never Would all we knew begin to fade away So here we are again with our December While knowing it is not as once before Trying to keep warm with dying embers As all our hopes are chilled unto the core One gift cannot be taken One hope will not be shaken Christ has come God's own Son Though our days have betrayed us And all answers evade us Have no fear Christ is here to stay Though we often think of former ages And gaze upon the memories with a smile We can face tomorrow's looming pages And know it will be worth it all the while For there is not a pleasure more than knowing The One who came to save us for His own And there is not a greater joy than growing To love Him as we near Him at the throne One gift cannot be taken One hope will not be shaken Christ has come God's own Son Though our days have betrayed us And all answers evade us Have no fear Christ is here to stay And maybe this Christmas is not What you call as merry Maybe it is not the one The world's hinting of His joy goes beyond happiness With nothing comparing For your Prince of peace He has come So rest in His love One gift cannot be taken One hope will not be shaken Christ has come God's own Son Though our days have betrayed us And all answers evade us Have no fear Christ is here Have no fear Christ is here Have no fear Christ is here to stay
