Magdalena

Magdalena, I long to know
How did you let your Jesus go?
How did you live after he died?
Where did you walk without him by your side?

Hear the world go quiet
On this starry night
I have come to find you
Here in this house of God
I've built a wall around me
No one is getting through
You would have the answer
You would know what to do
Please tell me what to do

I miss you this time of the year
When every song in the world sings of cheer
You'd have wrapped all the gifts by October
And we'd be lighting the tree early November

This Christmas Eve, I pray to believe
That one of these stars is you
In December, we remember
To be kind and gracious
To give thanks and have patience
To play and be joyful
To forgive and help one another

Because no one really knows how long we have
Before our light goes out
And if we flicker and shine
Like you up there tonight, Divine
Oh Holy was the night you were born
Oh but heavy was the crown you had worn

Candles burning
Church bells ringing
People gather
The choir is singing to you
To you
To you

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
