The Lethal Weapon movie [1987] is a Christmas movie.
Vengeance dissolves making room for something new Redemption blossoms in hope colors the dawn In silence pain fades like mist Among the remnants of conflict forgiveness is born The family welcomes him, the offerings of warmth The likeness of Christ shines in every gesture The crossfire marks the end changing destiny Suffering fades and in the night dissolves In a gesture of clemency forgiveness manifests Through the shadows new light advances In the heart burns the desire for peace The family, strong, embraces every change Riggs gives Rianne the decorated bullet A symbol of peace between tears and smiles Christmas lights up and down the cul-de-sac In forgiveness the divine likeness is reflected The family gathering the new bonds Love sprouts where grudges once reigned Hatred shouted finds echo in the wounded heart Anger shatters but time soothes it Acceptance means growing and letting go The family becomes a refuge redemption is built In forgiveness unexpected strength is found The soldier resists but lets himself be assured by hope In forgiveness the image of Christ is renewed The family is a manger where one is reborn every day The likeness is reflected in the gentle gesture Vengeance finds no room anymore, only harmony Redemption in memories in the comforting present The light of Christmas illuminates every face The soldier whom no one can bend He finds strength again as God changes his heart Resilience leaves a mark deep and alive In the warmth of the family pain is transformed Redemption is fulfilled forgiveness triumphs And the likeness of Christ remains eternal Vengeance vanishes now one of the Mertaugh clan Victoria Lynn Riggs' memory (his family) This soldier’s resilience reflected in the warmth of Christmas
