As little children we were dream’ of Christmas morn’
And all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized, a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
As the years went by, we learned more above gifts
And giving of ourselves and what that means
In a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
Because of love, because of love
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us a reason to live

Waktu kecil kita merindukan natal
Hadiah yang indah dan menawan
Namun tak kusadari seorang bayi t’lah lahir
Bawa keselamatan untuk kita
Karena kita Dia menderita
Karena kita Dia disalibkan
Agar kita yang hilang diselamatkan
Dari hukuman kekal
Untuk hidup yang kekal
