Glory to God in the Highest

Leave a reply 
 I see the star, brightly shining, in the calm and dark of night
 I see the shepherds, as they’re warming, by a fire with dimming light
 I see the sheep, gently gazing, in the shepherds watchful sight
 I see a scene, oh how serene, on this holiest of nights
  
 Suddenly the sky is parted by an angel glorious
 Singing praise and peace on earth, sounding quite victorious
 Fear thou not, the Savior comes, in a manger in a hush
 Then an multitude arrives as shepherds watch the chorus
  
 Glory to God. Glory to God
 Glory to God in the highest
 Peace on earth good will to men
 Glory to God in the highest
  
 Shepherds leave their flocks by night to find the lowly manger
 They arrive and see the babe. They do not feel like strangers
 They bow before the child and sing the song the angels gave them
 The highest praise to Christ the King as he lay in the manger
  
 Glory to God.  Glory to God
 Glory to God in the highest
 Peace on earth.  Good will to men
 Glory to God in the highest
  
 The highest praise to Christ the King
 The shepherds pledge Him everything
 They leave and tell the world they’ve seen
 The Savior of the world
  
 Glory to God.  Glory to God
 Glory to God in the highest
 Peace on earth.  Good will to men
 Glory to God in the highest

This Night

Leave a reply 
 This night is a holy night.  
 With the star shining brightly in the sky
 Where the child lay
 This night is a holy night.  
 For the spirit of God has come to stay
 In a stable filled with hay.  
 It’s a Holy Night
  
 This star is a holy star.  
 Shining so brightly in the sky
 There to light the way
 This star is a holy star.  
 Giving light to Mary’s newborn babe
 He has come the world to save. 
 It’s a Holy Star.
                 
 All of heaven rejoices, singing hallelujah
 Emmanuel has come to earth
 Angels ring in His coming on this glorious day
 The son of God has come to save
 
 This child is a holy child.  
 The angels proclaim His lowly birth
 To shepherds in the field
 This child is a holy child.  
 Kings bearing gifts come from afar
 And they kneel before the child.  
 He’s a Holy Child.
                 
 Lift up your voice and sing praise to the newborn king
 Good will to man and peace on earth He brings
 Join with the chorus as angels sing
 Praises to the King.  Sing praises to the King!
  
 All of heaven rejoices, singing hallelujah
 Emmanuel has come to earth
 Angels ring in His coming on this glorious day
 The son of God has come to save

Amazing

Leave a reply 
 Wouldn’t it have been amazing
 To be there on that morn
 When shepherds came to greet Him
 The Savior that was born
  
 Wouldn’t it have been amazing
 To see the newborn babe
 As wise men knelt before Him
 Sleeping on the hay
  
 Wonder of wonders
 God’s only Son
 Came down from heaven that day
 We stand before Him
 Lord of all time
 We gratefully praise His name
  
 Emmanuel, Emmanuel
 God has come down to save
 King of all Kings
 Lord of all Lords
 Came to us as a babe
  
 Isn’t it truly amazing
 That God loved us all so much
 He gave His own Son to redeem us
 His blood reaches each one of us
  
 Isn’t it truly amazing
 That on this blessed Christmas day
 We can sing of our precious redeemer
 With hearts full of grateful praise
  
 Wonder of wonders
 God’s only Son
 Came down from heaven that day
 We stand before Him
 Lord of all time
 We gratefully praise His name
  
 Emmanuel, Emmanuel
 God has come down to save
 King of all Kings
 Lord of all Lords
 Came to us as a babe

Music To My Ears

Leave a reply 
 When I think about the fact
 That He left His royal throne
 I can’t help but praise His name
 When I think about the fact
 In a stable He was born
 I can’t help but praise His name
 When I think about the star
 That led the wise men there
 And the great angelic choir
 That the shepherds saw in fear
 When I think about His love
 To become a babe so dear
 I can’t help but praise His name
  
 Bless His name.  His mighty name
 The name of Jesus is so sweet and so fair
 Bless His name.  The matchless name
 The name of Jesus is music to my ears
  
 When I think about the fact
 He bore the stripes for me
 I can’t help but praise His name
 When I think about the fact
 That He died to set me free
 I can’t help but praise His name
 When I think about the pain
 That He endured for me
 How He gave His life for all
 That day at Calvary
 When I think about the grace
 That He poured out for me
 I can’t help but praise His name
  
 Bless His name.  His mighty name
 The name of Jesus is so sweet and so fair
 Bless His name.  The matchless name
 The name of Jesus is music to my ears
  
 I’ll sing His praise
 Every day
 With Loudest voice
 And hands up-raised
 I’ll lift Him high
 With all my might
 The wondrous name
 Of Jesus
  
 Bless His name.  His mighty name
 The name of Jesus is so sweet and so fair
 Bless His name.  The matchless name
 The name of Jesus is music to my ears

The Reason

Leave a reply 
 Shoppers are shopping
 Mailmen are walking
 Delivering gifts bought on line
 Trees all are glimmering
 Houses are shimmering
 Lights hung to cheer us in time
  
 Carols are ringing
 Sleigh Bells are jingling
 Songs of the season are here
 Bright lights are glowing
 Egg nog is flowing
 All midst the words of good cheer
  
 We all are running
 From each day’s beginning
 To celebrate Christmas each year
 But how about stopping
 Take time from shopping 
 And realize the reason where here
  
 The star was a’shining
 The cattle were lowing
 When Mary gave birth to a son
 Shepherds were praising
 Sheep were there grazing
 A Savior for all had now come
  
 He went ‘round teaching
 And gave many healing
 His words filled the hearer with life
 But leaders were seething
 And they started pleading
 To have Jesus crucified
  
 He went through the suff’ring
 And became the off’ring
 For all of the sins of mankind
 The grave not confining
 He came out a’rising
 Defeating death for all of time
  
 This is the reason
 For Christmas season
 Let’s not forget why we sing
 For this is God’s son
 Who became the one
 To save all of us from ours sin
  
 So, I will sing praise
 To His wonderful name
 I will lift up my voice to the King
 He’s always the same
 And His love will remain
 He has given to us everything
