NO PRISON IN CHRISTMAS |
It's already hard to be behind bars on any given day But when Christmas comes 'round a prisoner is bound to feel even further away The usual gathering of family and friends will not include you this year No shopping for gifts or chopping of trees or raising a glass for cheers Christmas - a time of tradition of carols and ribbons and toys But when you find yourself in prison You may find it hard to rejoice So let me remind you of something you have that no one can take away No bars or walls or shatterproof glass can ever separate A gift of love from Heaven came down in its purest form A redeemer for you and all mankind An innocent babe newly born He grew on Earth and dwelled among us so that we could touch Remembering Him through stories shared of how He loves us so much Any time you wish to speak, His ear is there for you And when you give your ear to Him A message will come through His comfort is yours for the asking Forgiveness and peace of mind He is not bound by visiting hours, nor by any rules confined For there is no prison in Christmas To worship Him you're free That's how there is Christmas in prison It's the greatest gift you'll receive |
