Take me back to eight years old  
 	 	     Am  	  D  	 	 	 	 	C 	            G 
The little church on a dead end road  
With a candle flicker in one hand and dad’s hand in the other 
 	       G 
Take me back to Silent Night 
 	 	 	Am  	     D 	 	 	 	 	 	      C         G Am                                 D 
My heart was full and the world was right  
Cuz right now the world looks nothing like those innocent Decembers 
These days peace on earth is hard to find 
 	  G  	 	              C 
And I need you to remind me one more time 

Chorus  
G 	 	 	 	    Am D 	 	 	 	 	 	 G   	    
D/F# Em   	 	 	    Am 
You’re still the hope of Christmas  
You’re still the light when the world looks dark  
You’re still the hope of Christmas  
D 
And You’re still the hope of my heart

Watch the snow flakes falling down  
 	 	Am  	    D  	 	 	 	   C                G 
Like a blanket on this town  
For a moment we can hardly see the pain this year has brought us  
 	       G 
May the sick find healing’s touch  
 	 	      Am  	   D  	 	 	 	          C 	        G 
May hatred’s fight be won with love  
And may every heart make room for you the One who came to save us Chorus

 	          G 
I Bowed my head to pray tonight 
 	 	   Am  	  D  	 	 	 	       C                G 
Felt my little girl by my side 
She slipped her tiny hand in mine, and we both talked to you 
 	            G 
And it took me back to 8 years old 
 	 	   Am 
my daddy’s hand and a story told 
 	 D  	 	 	 	           C 	            G 
About Heaven’s love in a manger low, and a promise that’s still true
