You're Here

The other Christmas tune that has my heart this year (and last) is by one of my favorites - Francesca Battistelli.  The girl can do no wrong!

You're Here 



Hold on now, gotta take a deep breath
I don't know what to say when I look in your eyes
You made the world before I was born
And here I am holding you in my arms tonight

Noel, Noel
Jesus our Emmanuel

You're here, I'm holding you so near
I'm staring into the face of my Savior, 
King and Creator
You could have left us on our own
But you're here

I don't know how long I'm gonna have you for
But I'll be watching when you change the world
I look at your hands, they're still so small
Someday you're gonna stretch them out and save us all

Noel, Noel
God with us, Emmanuel

You're here, I'm holding you so near
I'm staring into the face of my Savior
King and Creator
You could have left us on our own
But you're here, you're here

Someday I'm gonna look back on this
The night that God became a baby boy
Someday you're gonna go home again
But you'll leave your spirit and flood the world with joy

You'll be here, I'm holding you so near
I'm staring into the face of my Savior
King and Creator
You could have left me on my own
But you're here, you're here

Hallelujah, You're here
Hallelujah, You're here
