[Intro] A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 [Verse 1]
          A                              D
I think I passed you on the busy sidewalk last night

           A                             D
I think I caught the sadness in your eyes

            A                                D
While everybody sings their happy Christmas songs tonight

A/C#                     D
All you want to do is cry
[Verse 2]
          A                           D
Christmas lights and decorations everywhere you turn

           A                          D
But all you feel inside is dark and gray

             A                                  D
There may be joy for all the world but is there any joy for you

       A/C#                     D
Hold on, love is looking for a way

       A/C#                     D
Hold on, I believe it's why love came
[Chorus]
       A
So I'm sending you this Christmas card

   A/C#                   D
To let you know somebody loves you

        A
And I'm singing you this little song

   A/C#                     D
To let you know you're not alone

        A/F#                           E/G#
And I'm thinking, as we celebrate, how love came down

   A                             D
So every lost and lonely broken heart would get found

        Bm                   C#m
And wherever you are, I hope this Christmas card

 D
Finds you and reminds you
You are loved A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 [Verse 3]
          A                                   D
For every one who's been left standing on the outside looking in

      A                                   D
Every one with dreams that never will come true

         A                          D
When the story of your life gets re-written over night

              A/C#                              D
Well, this is all part of the Christmas story, too

         A/C#                               D
And I believe God knows and He's right there with you
[Chorus]
       A
So I'm sending you this Christmas card

   A/C#                   D
To let you know somebody loves you

        A
And I'm singing you this little song

   A/C#                     D
To let you know you're not alone

        A/F#                           E/G#
And I'm thinking, as we celebrate, how love came down

   A                             D
So every lost and lonely broken heart can be found

        Bm                   C#m
And wherever you are, I hope this Christmas card

 D
Finds you and reminds you
[Bridge]
          Bm     A/F#
You are not alone

       E/G#
You're never forgotten

    A                            D
The God who made you came down to our world

   A/F#            E/G#
To let us know wherever we are

       D
He is with us
Our God is with us [Final Chorus]
       A                            A/C#
And He really wants to let you know

             D
Just how much He loves you

        A                               A/C#
And I'm singing you this Christmas song

                      D
So you'll know you're not alone

        A/F#                           E/G#
And I'm thankful, as we celebrate, how love came down

    A                               D
Now all the lost and lonely broken hearts can be found

        Bm                   C#m
And wherever you are, I hope this Christmas card

 D
Finds you and reminds you
You are loved [Outro] A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2 A Asus2
