[Intro]
G Am7 D Gsus4 G
[Verse 1]
G
Take me back to eight years old
Am7
The little church on a dead-end road
D
With a candle flicker in one hand
C G
And Dad’s hand in the other
G
Take me back to Silent Night
Am7
My heart was full and the world was right
D
‘Cause right now the world looks nothing like
C G
Those innocent Decembers
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 D
These days peace on earth is hard to find
G C
And I need you to remind me one more time
[Chorus]
G Am7
You’re still the hope of Christmas

You’re still the light when the world looks dark
Em Am7
You’re still the hope of Christmas

And You’re still the hope of my heart
[Interlude]
Am7 D Gsus4 G
[Verse 2]
G
Watch the snowflakes falling down
Am7
Like a blanket on this town
D
For a moment we can hardly see
C G
The pain this year has brought us
G
May the sick find healing’s touch
Am7
May hatred’s fight be won with love
D
And may every heart make room for You,
C G
The One who came to save us
[Chorus]
G Am7
Cause You’re still the hope of Christmas

You’re still the light when the world looks dark

You’re still the hope of Christmas

And You’re still the hope of my heart

You're the hope of Christmas!
[Verse 3]
G
I bowed my head to pray tonight
Am7
Felt my little girl by my side
D
She slipped her tiny hand in mine
C G
And we both talked to You
G
And it took me back to eight years old
Am7
My daddy’s hand and a story told
D
About Heaven’s love in a manger low
C G
And a promise that’s still true
[Chorus]
G Am7
You’re still the hope of Christmas
D Gsus4 G/F#
You’re still the light when the world looks dark

You’re still the hope of Christmas

And You’re still the hope of my heart

You’re still the hope of Christmas

You’re still the light when the world looks dark
Em Am7 N.C.
You’re still the hope of Christmas
D G
And You’re still the hope of my heart
