Christmas Makes Me Cry

I think of loved ones who’ve passed away

And I pray they’re resting in a better place

I think of memories of years gone by

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of soldiers across the sea

Sometimes I wonder why it’s them instead of me

But for my freedom they give their lives

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of faithfulness, tears of hope

I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know

There is peace on earth for every heart to find

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of family, I think of home

And say a prayer for those who spend this time alone

‘Cause love can reach out into a silent night

And that’s why Christmas makes me cry

Tears of faithfulness, tears of hope

I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know

There is peace on earth for every heart to find

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of Mary and the virgin birth

And I’m amazed by how much God thinks we are worth

That He would send His only Son to die

And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of faithfulness and tears of hope

I cry tears of joy at Christmas because I know

There is peace on earth for every heart to find

And sometimes Christmas makes me

Oh, sometimes Christmas makes me

Christmas makes me cry

Christmas makes me cry
