Matthew West + Mandisa - Christmas Makes Me Cry Lyrics

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 And sometimes I wonder why it’s them instead of me That for my freedom they give their lives And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness 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 thankfulness 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 a 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 thankfulness 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 Christmas makes me cry
