I Celebrate the Day

I wouldn't go so far to say it's my favorite Christmas song but it's the one that has the most meaning to me. It's "I Celebrate the Day" by Relient K. I can't sing this song without getting choked up.

"With this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let You know
How much You've touched my life
Because here is where You're finding me
In the exact same place as New Year's Eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We're less that half as close as I want to be


And the first time that You opened Your eyes
Did you realize that You would be my Savior?
And the first breath that left Your lips
Did You know that it would change this world forever?

And so this Christmas I'll compare
The things I felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That You have come to meet me here

To look back
And think that
This baby would one day save me
In the hope that
What You did
That You were born so I might really live
To look back
And think that
This baby would one day save me


And I,
I celebrate the day
That You were born to die
So I could one day
Pray for you to save my life"
