lyrics:crying for a christmas.

unfortunately, youtube isn't working for me. but go listen to this song--it's the most 
beautiful thing i've ever heard.

crying for a christmas by scott krippayne.
these are the lives of the rearranged
scattered souls who’ve been displaced
nowhere else to turn
like bethlehem we have packed the place
human need fills ever space
no room at the inn

still God found a corner,
made a bed down in the hay
could he reappear, make his advent here
will he still draw near today?

my world is crying,
crying for a christmas 
some way to know for sure –
that our God is with us
we could all use a sign
a little glimpse of divine
for a world that still cries for christmas

feeding trough on a dirty floor
unimpressive welcome for
God’s Almighty Son
are we as blind to incarnation
daily proof of our salvation
love’s already come

we are not abandoned,
all alone in our despair
He who once came down, he can still be found
every when and everywhere

my world is crying,
crying for a christmas
some way to know for sure –
that our God is with us
once a baby so small
grew to die for us all
for a world that still cries for christmas.

Jesus you are here, Jesus you are now
Jesus you are here, Jesus you are now

my world is crying,
crying for a christmas
some way to know for sure –
that our God is with us
we can all be the sign
that his love is alive
for a world that still cries for christmas.
