“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” (Luke 18:10-14)
It’s always been real tough here, with me
because I’m often judging
I often have my eyes just on me
I’m small, that way, and stubborn
But you are the judge of all that
And here’s some trust, anyway
Another hard winter’s on its way
but you’ve warmed my heart by telling me I’m okay
Forgiveness, this Christmas
I’m always bad at borrowing ’cause
I’m just as bad at following
I’ve really had big problems because
I’m not that fair at bargaining
But you will be solving all that
You’ve played the part for all that
Another hard winter’s on its way
but you’ve warmed my heart by telling me I’m okay
True riches, this Christmas
Merry Christmas
We’ve always had barbarians ’cause
I act like a barbarian
We’ve always had the cancer because
I’ve often been the cancer
But you are the answer for that
You have a cure for all that
Another hard winter’s on its way
but you’ve warmed my heart by telling me I’m okay
Much lifting, this Christmas
No hypocrites, but listeners Not critical, but gifts to bring
Forgiveness, this Christmas
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men
Forgiveness, for Christmas
