By Christmas Day
Israel & New Breed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life just moves too fast
Where will I find time to live my dream
There's so much left of me to be
Expedite and bring to life those things I need
Hear my prayer
My request
Hearts desire what I believe to see
God let it be if You don't mind
Could it be mine by Christmas day
Hear what I say
Not a timeline
Just let it be mine
Christmas day
My time to save the world
Or help one boy or girl
By simply taking out the time to hear
What could it hurt to help to dry a tear
Or letting one lonely heart know I care
Let it be mine
Let it be mine
Let it be mine
Let it be mine Christmas day
The song "By Christmas Day" by Israel & New Breed is a heartfelt prayer and a plea for God to answer a request. The lyrics reflect on the passing of another year, the fast pace of life, and the need to find time to pursue one's dreams. The singer acknowledges that there is still so much left of them to be, and they urgently ask God to help expedite and bring to life those things they need. The chorus is a powerful request for God to grant the singer's heart's desire, to make it come true by Christmas Day. The singer emphasizes that the request is not just about a timeline, but a genuine plea to make it happen.
The second verse shifts focus from the singer's dreams to the need to help others. The singer recognizes the potential to make a difference in someone's life, even if it is just by taking the time to listen or offer a shoulder to cry on. The singer pleads with God to let them be the one to make a difference, to let them save the world or help one boy or girl. The chorus repeats the request, that whatever the singer's heart's desire may be, they earnestly ask God to make it happen by Christmas Day.
Overall, "By Christmas Day" is a moving prayer that speaks to the human desire to fulfill one's dreams and make a positive impact on the world. It is a reminder that time is precious and that we should use it to pursue our goals and help others. The chorus's repetition of "let it be mine" makes it clear that the singer is not asking for something they do not deserve or have not worked for, but rather, they are seeking divine intervention to help them achieve what they have set out to do.
