I Celebrate the Day

I thought I would put up the lyrics from "I Celebrate the Day" by Relient K, off of the new Christmas album (post about that below), "Let it Snow Baby... Let it Reindeer".

I Celebrate the Day
With this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let you know
How much you've touched my life because
Here is where you're finding me
In the exact same place as New Years Eve
And from the lack of my persistency
We're less than half as close as I wanna be

And the first time that you opened your eyes
Did you realize that you would be my Savior
And the first breath that left your lips
Did you know that it would change this world forever
And the first time that you opened your eyes
Did you realize that you would be my Savior
And the first breath that left your lips
Did you know that it would change this world forever

And so this Christmas I'll compare
The things I've felt in prior years
To what this midnight made so clear
That you have come to meet me here

To look back
And think that
This baby would one day save me
And the hope that
That you give
That you were born so I might really live
To look back
And think that
This baby would one day save me…

And the first time that you opened your eyes
Did you realize that you would be my Savior
And the first breath that left your lips
Did you know that it would change this world forever
And the first time that you opened your eyes
Did you realize that you would be my Savior
And the first breath that left your lips
Did you know that it would change this world forever

And I
I celebrate the day
That you were born to die
So I could one day
Pray for you to save my life
Pray for you to save my life
Pray for you to save my life
--Relient K

Let it Snow Baby... Let it Reindeer

The new Christmas album from Relient K which I was able to pre-order (thanks to MySpace) and received in the mail on Friday. It's awesome. It has a few songs from their first Christmas Album, Deck the Halls Bruise Your Hand, that are always awesome. My favorite still is and will always be I Celebrate the Day. Such a good, modern Christmas song. And of course there are their pop-rock versions of the classics like Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and Silent Night. An a capella (which Relient K does so well) version of Auld Lang Syne with a special Christmas greeting from the band. And some awesome originals like Santa Claus is Thumbing to Town.

I've listened to the CD a few times through and am still enjoying it. Makes me feel all Christmasy inside!
