I need Christmas this year
Reminding me that Jesus came down here
And that He was human just like me
Oh I need reason again to sing
I need peace here on earth
I need His joy in this world
Like I never have before
I need Christmas

I got questions, I got pain
And struggles that won't seem to go away

I Need Christmas
I Need Christmas

I need Christmas this year
Gonna need all the joy and all the cheer
'Cause you know it's been that kind of season
More than ever I need the reason

I got questions, I got pain
And struggles that won't seem to go away

I Need Christmas
I Need Christmas
I Need Christmas
I Need Christmas

Jesus had problems
He had family
And sometimes
Those were one and the same
He had friends and
He had betrayers
But showed us how
To love them anyway
He had a vision
He had dreams
No one understood
Not many believed
He had loved ones
That passed away
Oh it's good to know
He understands our pain

I Need Christmas
I Need Christmas
We all need Christmas
I Need Christmas

I'll be Christmas this year
Remind everyone that Jesus came down here
So he could be human like you and me
He is the reason to sing
He gives us reason to sing
I need Christmas
