作曲 : Linford Detweiler Another Christmas is drifting in softly Like the ghost of my innocence lost And the tree in the corner burns brightly I turned all the other lights off I think back on my life in this stillness I consider the days of my youth And the moments I find myself willing To surrender and just tell the truth ‘Cause I’ve committed every sin And each one leaves a different scar It’s just the world I’m livin’ in And I could use a guiding star I hope that I can still believe The Christ child holds a gift for me Am I able to receive Peace on earth this Christmas This old world so sweet and so bitter Seeds of violence we humans have sown And these weapons we still love to handle May our children have strength to let go When we look at the stars after midnight Sparkling rumors of redemption at play Can we still hear the echoes of angels Who were singing that first Christmas day ‘Cause we’ve committed every sin And each one leaves a different scar It’s just the world we’re living in And we could use a guiding star I hope that we can still believe The Christ child holds a gift for us Are we able to receive Peace on earth this Christmas Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn king Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled Joyful all ye nations rise Join the triumph of the skies With angelic hosts proclaim Peace on earth this Christmas
