Crystol Woods Poet Lyric

Take My Hand

Here, my gift, 
My hand in yours.
Hear, my promise, 
No weapons of war. 
Here, my heart, 
Full of love and peace. 
The time is here, 
It's Christmas Eve!

When every hand is held
None can go astray
The whole world is at peace
On this Christmas day

Here, I stand. 
Full of love!
Here, I am!
Connecting us
There you are, 
Let us be, 
I take your hand
A gift of peace. 

When every hand is held
None can go astray
The whole world is at peace
On this Christmas day

Here, is faith
Dividing us
Here is color
Dividing us
Join together
Find that common ground
Hear the way our unity
Can make a joyful sound

When every hand is held
None can go stay
The whole world is at peace
On this Christmas day
