i celebrate and imitate

"i celebrate the day" - relient k

and 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 than half as close as i want to be

chorus:

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

bridge:

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 so this Christmas i'll compare the things i've felt in prior years
to what this midnight made so clear
that You have come to meet me here

and i, i celebrate the day
that You were born to die
so i could one day pray for You to save my life

pray for you to save my life
