Prog

One Last Christmas is a quiet winter elegy for those who faced the holidays knowing time was fragile. Set against falling snow and soft starlight, the song reflects on Christmas not just as a season of joy, but as a season of presence — of holding close the moments, the warmth, and the people we love when tomorrow is uncertain. It honors those lost to cancer, and the families who carry their light forward through empty chairs, familiar traditions, and memories that refuse to fade.

Rather than mourning in darkness, the song chooses gentleness. It remembers the laughter, the glow of shared nights, and the love that endures beyond the body. One Last Christmas is about remembrance without fear — a farewell shaped by grace, where love is not extinguished, only transformed.

静かな夜が 手を放す

“Even when someone is gone, the season remembers them — and so do we.”

Side Effects Include !!

Living once again today
Truly is a gift to stay
Faithful to You all the way
Thank you, Lord, this day I pray
My provision is the One
Who gives sunshine through the sun
I am holding on to You
Who has seen me through it all

I am grateful to the Lord
Whom from start has made me know
You are always on my side
Thank you, Lord, for loving me

Gentle Jesus ever true
To all sinners who want new
Life in GOD's own glorious crew
Saved and washed with blood anew
All to Jesus we give all
Which is bleeding us to fall
We surrender to forestall
What could turn hearts from Your call

We are thankful to the Lord
Standing near us everyday
Saying we are on His heart
Thank you, Lord, for loving us

Come descending like a dove
Closer than a friend in love
Beautiful One from above
Thank you, Lord, for loving me
