Forgotten ft. Codex Creed Harmony Lyrics

Oh Mother Christ, her child's asleep No room in hearts for what runs deep

She gave the world a king that night But now her story's out of sight

We dress the trees, we hang the wreaths While heaven weeps, the Savior grieves

The world he came to save has strayed Lost in the noise of a busy holiday

Do you see what we've forgotten? The holy child, the manger trodden

We've forgotten to teach and preach We've forgotten to nourish the souls we reach

Oh, we've traded truth for fleeting bliss And raised our kids on Christmas list

But there's no Christmas without this A cross, a crown, a hope so pure

And the message that he's returning for sure

The angels sang, the shepherds knelt A moment when true hope was felt

But now we bow to golden things And this, the joy his presence brings

The carols have faded, the candles burn Yet hearts refuse to truly turn

A season meant for love and grace Replaced by rush and frantic pace

Do you see what we've forgotten? The holy child, the manger trodden

We've forgotten to teach and preach We've forgotten to nourish the souls we reach

Oh, we've traded truth for fleeting bliss And raised our kids on Christmas list

But there's no Christmas without this A cross, a crown, a hope so pure

And the message that he's returning for sure

What if the lights went dark tonight? Would we remember heaven's light

What if the gifts were all set aside? Would we see the star that still abides

Oh, Christmas calls for hearts to break For us to kneel, for us to wake

The stable waits, the cradles bare A silent plea hangs in the air

Will we return? Will we believe? Or let him stand outside in grief

This holy night, let's make it new And find the Christ who waits for you

Let's bow in awe, let's lift his name And make his love our only aim

Do you see what we've forgotten? The holy child, the manger trodden

We've forgotten to teach and preach We've forgotten to nourish the souls we reach

Oh, we've traded truth for fleeting bliss And raised our kids on Christmas list

But there's no Christmas without this A cross, a crown, a hope so pure

And the message that he's returning for sure

Do you see what we've forgotten? The holy child, the manger trodden

We've forgotten to teach and preach We've forgotten to nourish the souls we reach

Oh, we've traded truth for fleeting bliss And raised our kids on Christmas list

But there's no Christmas without this A cross, a crown, a hope so pure

And the message that he's returning for sure

A cross, a crown, a hope so pure And the message that he's returning for sure
