There's a cave inside a mountain
where a hermit hopes to see ,
the light of Christmas morning
where its as peaceful as can be .
Spending Christmas in a cave
is not much to look forward to .
The hermit lights a candle
and hopes his wishes all come true .
His cave's within the heart ,
where he has hidden himself away ,
but when the miracle of Christmas comes ,
all will be ok .
He thought of a small stable ,
and the family who had come there .
He somehow felt connected
so he knelt down and said a prayer .
He joined his hands together and said ,
"Nothing do I own .
Thank you Jesus , Mary and Joseph ,
I thought I was alone .
This life I have is but a journey
until I'm home with you .
Through the dark night of my soul
I've walked not knowing what to do .
Its brought me here where I found
the darkness was taken away .
I know in the world I live
somehow love will will find a way .
Jesus looked into his heart and whispered
" I know who you are .
You have become a prisoner
locked up in an ivory tower .
In a cave within your heart
you've dug a deep and empty hole ,
but you've crawled through the darkness within
to the light of your soul ."
There is a void in everyone
that only God can fill .
The echo of what the hermit heard ,
is always with us still .
Christmas is a time to share
be it where no one can come in .
There nwithin the cave of Christmas
a new journey can begin .
