Lyrics:
Verse 1
It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year
But if I’m honest I’m finding it hard to feel much Christmas cheer 
Life as I once knew is gone
And I feel so alone 

But You say

Chorus 
That’s why I came
I have experienced the same
From on high I came low
So that I would know 
The depth of your sorrow and pain

All the hurt you’ve been through 
I have experienced it too
Every heartache and loss 
I took to the cross 
Where I gave my life for you

It’s okay if you’re not okay today
That’s why I came

Verse 2
I try to put on a smile and just find a way to get through 
The season’s festivities as best as I know how to
But what I really need
Is to feel a sense of peace

And You say

Chorus 
That’s why I came
I have experienced the same
From on high I came low
So that I would know 
The depth of your sorrow and pain

All the hurt you’ve been through 
I have experienced it too
Every heartache and loss 
I took to the cross 
Where I gave my life for you

It’s okay if you’re not okay today
That’s why I came 

Bridge
I’m not God from a distance
I am God who became man
I stepped into human existence 
Gripped its strife with my own hands

And every single instance
Of brokenness I comprehend 
I’ve borne it all
I understand 

Chorus 
That’s why I came
I have experienced the same
From on high I came low
So that I would know 
The depth of your sorrow and pain

All the hurt you’ve been through 
I have experienced it too
Every heartache and loss 
I took to the cross 
Where I gave my life for you

It’s okay if you’re not okay today
It’s okay if you’re not okay today

That’s why I came
That’s why I came
