behold him

francesca battistelli

she put up the tree

stockings one

two

three

they all know one is missing

it's been a whole year

without him right here

won't be the same kind of christmas

some years it's wonder and lights in the sky

some years it's okay to cry

in your silent night

when you're not alright

lift your eyes and behold him

feel the thrill of hope

you are not alone

in this moment behold him

december twenty-third

four months out of work

and the bills just keep coming

trying to stay strong

but he wonders how long

he'll come home empty handed

in every prayer that you lift to the sky

in every tear that you cry

in your silent night

when you're not alright

lift your eyes and behold him

feel the thrill of hope

you are not alone

in this moment behold him

born to seek and born to save

born to take our pain away

god with us

emmanuel

in his arms

all will be well

in your silent night

when you're not alright

lift your eyes and behold him

feel the thrill of hope

you are not alone

in this moment behold him

king forevermore

come let us adore

christ our savior behold him

feel the thrill of hope

we are not alone

in this moment behold him

in each moment behold him

behold him
