Will We Forget?
by Michael McLean

Album: The Forgotten Carols

A heart that's been closed
May be opening tonight.
A soul that's been lost might
Believe it's been found
But six months from now
On a warm summer night,
Will we pause to remember
This night in December
When we promised ourselves we'd keep
This spirit all year round?

Will we forget the primose
We resolutely made?
Will we forget to thank the Lord
For all the gifts he gave?
We'll say it's human nature,
But something seems amiss
When there is just one time of year reserved
For nights
Like this.

And six months from now
On a warm summer night,
Will any part of us remember
This night in December
When we promised ourselves we'd keep
This spirit all year round?

Will we forget the feelings?
Will we forget to sing?
Will we forget the Christ child came
To give us
Everything?
We'll have a hundred reasons
Why we have set aside
The memories of this season when His spirit touched our lives.

But He who came to save us
For all eternity
Has not forgotten those who need His mercy to be free.
And though that number's greater
Than the sands upon the sea
There is no time of year that He's
Forgotten
You
Or me.

He has not forgotten us
On any lonely night.
He has not forgotten
That our joy requires His light.
He has not forgotten those
Who are homeless as was He.
He has not forgotten you
He's not
Forgotten
Me.
