8 Favorite Christmas Songs!
White Christmas
Bing Crosby
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white.
Let Him In
The Forgotten Carols
Michael McLean
I am a man forgotten
No one recalls my name
Thousands of years will fail
To fully erase my shame
But I turned a profit nicely the day
That I turned the couple away
I turned them away
I didn't sleep that evening
Though I'd sold out my place
Somehow I felt uneasy
Something about her face
Why did I wish that I'd let them stay?
I didn't think they could pay
Or could they have paid?
Restless I left my bedroom
I walked the streets all night
Lost in the world I lived in
Fokund by a heavenly light
Staring at one bright star in the sky
I heard a baby cry
And I knew where the cry had come from
'Cause I told them where they could go
But I didn't think I could face them
And so I walked slowly home
Missing my chance to share in their joy
I never say the boy
He never would condemn me
I did that all on my own
He offered His forgiveness
And ever since then I've known
He lets us choose each hour of each day,
If we'll let Him in to stay
Let Him in... let Him in
Let the hope and joy begin
Let Him in... let Him in
Let the peace on earth begin
Whether it be in your world today
Or a crowded Bethlehem inn
Find a way... make Him room...
let Him in
Mary, Did You Know
Clay Aiken
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God?
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the Great I Am?
Oh Mary did you know?
Silent Night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child.
Holy Infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born!
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birthJ
esus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Silent night, holy night
Wondrous star, lend thy light
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born!
Mary Let Me Hold Her Baby
The Forgotten Carols
Michael McLean
Mary let me hold her baby
Her newborn son
Though I'd never be a mother
I felt like one
Mary let me hold her baby
So she could rest
Ever since taht night I held him
My life's been blessed
Those like me who can't have children
Still can be mothers
Something in His eyes convinced me
I could serve so many others
Mary let me hold her baby
So soft and warm
Mary let me hold her baby
And I was reborn
Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell rock.
Silver Bells
Christmas makes you feel emotional
It may bring parties or thoughts devotional
Whatever happens or what may beHere is what
Christmas time means to me.
City sidewalk, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's
A feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you'll hear.
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.
City street lights
Even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home
With their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch
See the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you'll hear.
Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day.
I'll Be Home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree.
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams.
