Lyrics

When Christmas brings more pain than joy
And carols sing of sadness,
When tears of sorrow fill your eyes
And wash away your gladness,
A place is waiting here for you
Where no one judges how you feel.
Whatever hurt you bring tonight*
We honor and we hold as real.

When disappointment from the past
Returns to haunt the season,
When aching heart and troubled thoughts
Your hopes and dreams imprison,
A place is waiting here for you.
We welcome you in all your pain.
Come let your heart and soul be warmed.**
Come know your neighbors’ love again.

* Use “today” for daytime services.
** Use “eased” for warm weather climates.
