Lord Remind Me

When children play on Christmas day and snow is flung
When I feel I haven’t had a friend since I was young
And I’m feeling tired of myself and everyone
Lord remind me
Lord remind me
That the shepherds heard the angels break
he silence in the field
That the wisemen found a baby and
they could not help but kneel
That the one who heard our weeping
became a child in manger sleeping
Lord remind me
Cause it’s Christmas and I want to remember
When I hear the news and hear another war has begun
And I wonder if god’s on the side of either one
I hear bullet nail or handcuff he bore all of them
And in the light my heart’s as dark as anyone’s
Lord remind me
Lord remind me
That the shepherds heard the angels break
the silence in the field
That the wisemen found a baby and
they could not help but kneel
That the one who heard our weeping
became a child in manger sleeping
Lord remind me
Cause it’s Christmas and I want to remember
Tell me how he loves
Tell me how he wants me
Tell me the story like I’ve never heard before
And I’ll sing like the angels
Sing with my whole heart
Sing to him who’s worth a thousand suns and more
Glory in the highest
Glory in the lowest
Glory that shines when nothing seems to shine at all
Glory in the highest
Glory in the lowest
Emmanuel
Glory in the highest
Glory in the lowest
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
Lord remind me
Lord remind me
That the paralytic rose and stood up
proud on his own feet
That the thief who hung beside you is with you now
and waits for me
That the cry of faith so simple
is the greatest song in heaven’s hymnal
Lord remind me
Cause it’s Christmas and I want to remember
