A heart that's been closed may be opening tonight.
A soul that's been lost might believe it's been found.
But six months from now on a warm summer night,
Will we pause to remember this night in December
When we promised ourselves we'd keep this spirit all year round?
Will we forget the promise we resolutely made?
Will we forget to thank the Lord for all the gifts he gave?
We'll say it's human nature, but something seems amiss
When there is just one time of year reserved for nights like this.
Six months from now on a warm summer night,
Will we even remember the night in December
When we promised ourselves we'd keep this spirit all year round?
Will we forget the feelings, will we forget to sing
Will we forget the Christ child came and gave us everything?
We'll have a hundred reasons why we have set aside
The memories of this season when His spirit touched our lives.
But He who came to save us for all eternity
Has not forgotten those who need His mercy to be free.
And though the number's greater than the sands upon the sea
There is no time of year that He's forgotten you or me.
He has not forgotten us on any lonely night.
He has not forgotten that our joy requires His light.
He has not forgotten those who are homeless as was He.
He has not forgotten you; He's not forgotten me.
A soul that's been lost might believe it's been found.
