I took some time for Christmas
Thought about the Lord
Left my work behind me
I laid down my silver sword
My workmates they were puzzled
They're trying to make a deal
You're greasy and you dream too much
I guess that's how I feel
I know
That's exactly how I feel

I took some time for Christmas
The people rushed about
[?] on television running in and out the house
When [?] she went the other way
I know that Jesus sat with her when it was Christmas Day

I took some time for Christmas
Thought about the Star
I thought about the journey of the Wise Men from afar
I'd give up Christmas Presents for my life and so would you
Travel along behind the Kings and get a better view
What I'd do
I'd do anything and so would you

I fought my way through anger
[?] my hate
I listened to the blackbirds sing when it was very late
Through all this confusion
Leave beyond our care
I heard my Saviour calling me when it was Christmas Day
I'm sorry beyond measure
It doesn't matter now
The shepherds played their ancient role
And the king's have all gone home
For, they [?]
And the mother to her [?]
And maybe as the story says
[?] our one true lord
And maybe as the story says
[?] our one true lord
To be our one true Lord
