I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
All over the world, the angels sing
But I’m feelin’ lost, can you save me?
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
I can’t see in this darkness
So in need of forgiveness
Before all of my faith dies
Show me the way like a northern light
Come find me ’cause I can’t find myself
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
All over the world, the angels sing
But I’m feelin’ lost, can you save me?
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
Don’t know how I got where I am
Hurtin’ so much, I need healin’
All I have is what I can pray
Send me your mercy, I need your grace
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
All over the world, the angels sing
But I’m feelin’ lost, can you save me?
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
Come find me ’cause I can’t find myself
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
All over the world, the angels sing
But I’m feelin’ lost, can you save me?
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
I’m lookin’ for you on Christmas Eve
