Miracle Child

 The young girl was praying on bended knee saying Lord I will follow wherever you lead
 With this child my family will send me away ‘til the day the baby is born.
 The young man asked why he should still love the lass when the child she carried he knew was not his
 All the world would mock her and treat her as dirt and the hurt would never return
  
 But the Angel had told them the child would be theirs that He would be special and they should not care
 How the world would respond to this miracle child 
 So they trusted in the Lord.  Yes they trusted in the Lord.
  
 CHORUS
 They called His name Jesus, Emmanuel
 Ki-ing of all kings, Lord of all
 Wonderful Savior, Prince of peace
 Emmanuel, God is wi-ith us.
  
 They followed the road down to Bethlehem where the child would be born, in a manger lay
 And they settled him down in the soft, cool hay and they prayed, giving thanks to the Lord
  
 Then kings from afar came bearing great gifts and shepherds left flocks just to kneel at His feet
 The star was so bright ‘bove the place where he lay 
 ‘Twas the birthday of the King.  The birthday of the King!
 All heaven rejoiced at the sound of His coming, on earth all was quiet and still
 The child in the manger brought peace to all men, and His message would be of good will
  
 CHORUS

 Have you heard the news?  It came out today.  
 How a child was born and in a manger lay.
 Have you seen the star shining oh so bright?  
 Right above our heads, making day of night.
 How can all this be?  What can these things mean?  
 Is it coincidence or a miracle we see?
  
 Where is this little child?   
 I hear he’s meek and mild.  
 I hear he’s come to save the world.
 How can a baby boy bring all the earth such joy? 
 Is he the King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
  
 Shepherds keep their watch In a quiet field 
 When a host of angels in the sky appear
 They sing highest praise, saying do not fear.  
 A child is born this day – he’s in a manger near
 How can all this be?  What can these things mean?  
 Is it a vision, or have we just dreamed a dream?
  
 Where is this newborn babe?  
 The angels told the way.  
 They said he’s come to bring us peace
 How can a baby boy bring all the earth such joy.

 He is the King of Kings.  He is the Lord of Lords.    Sing Emanuel to the Lord
 Sing Emanuel to the Lord.  Sing Emanuel to the Lord.  Sing Emanuel to the Lord

My Christmas Gift

 I searched for a gift this Christmas
 A gift I could give to all
 It would have to be inexpensive
 And hopefully rather small
  
 I shopped on the net for days
 And nothing seemed quite right
 So I went to some stores in the city
 And I looked for several nights
  
 But the perfect gift was elusive
 Nothing I saw seemed to fit
 I started to think it was hopeless
 But then found the perfect gift
  
 It was free to any who wanted
 It was small, so I’d keep it in hand
 It was easy to give out to others
 I decided that this fit the plan
  
 This gift didn’t need to be wrapped up
 And it wasn’t some cute little toy
 All I had to do was give it
 The recipient would have much joy
  
 I’m giving Jesus this Christmas
 I’m telling my friends of His love
 I’m sharing with them His salvation
 And His mercy that rains from above
  
 I’ll share with them the Christmas story
 And the Easter story as well
 They will hear how much He loves them
 They’ll be touched by the story I tell
  
 This gift will last them a lifetime
 And they’ll live for eternity
 Safe in the arms of the Savior
 Forever they will be free
  
 This Christmas give all a present
 That will last for the rest of time
 Give everyone Jesus
 And give them the gift of life.

This Christmas

 Amidst all of the packages
 That sit under the tree 
 As I look around the house
 Decorated in beauty
 And I smell the sweet aroma
 Of the up and coming feast
 I can’t help but think of Him
  
 And when the day is over
 And the crowd is heading home
 I will sit in my nice lounge chair
 And my mind will surely roam
 Perhaps I’ll take a nap
 As I take some time alone
 To give thanks to my Savior and Lord
  
 Let’s lift up holy hands
 To Jesus Christ our Lord
 This Christmas
 Let’s lift our voices high
 To the one that we adore
 This Christmas
  
 Let’s fully magnify
 The one who came to die
 Let’s shout aloud our praise
 Because He gave us life
 Let’s worship the great name
 Of our Savior Jesus Christ
 This Christmas Day
  
 He came to earth a babe
 And in a manger lay
 He gave up heavens throne
 To come to earth this day
 Shepherds came to worship
 Wise Man kneeled and prayed
 As they gave their gifts to Him that day         
  
 He grew to be a man
 Anointed from above
 And then condemned to die
 To show us of His love
 He gave His life for me
 His mercy is enough
 This Christmas Day
  
 Let’s lift up holy hands
 To Jesus Christ our Lord
 This Christmas
 Let’s lift our voices high
 To the one that we adore
 This Christmas
  
 Let’s fully magnify
 The one who came to die
 Let’s shout aloud our praise
 Because He gave us life
 Let’s worship the great name
 Of our Savior Jesus Christ
 This Christmas Day

I Love That Name

 I look up to the heavens and wonder Who Am I
 That you would send your Son to die for me
 And then I realize it’s not who I am
 But who you are that matters most to me
  
 You are mercy.  You are grace
 You are righteousness deserving of my praise
 You are holy.  You are awesome
 I will lift my voice and worship your sweet name
  
 The name of Jesus, oh how wonderful
 The name of Jesus, oh how marvelous
 The name of Jesus, oh how glorious
 I love that name.  I love that name

Christmas Cheer

 It’s once again that time of year
 When we ring out our Christmas cheer
 We sing the songs of Jesus birth
 Declaring Him through all the earth
  
 Hark the Herald angels sing
 Hear the bells oh hear them ring
 O come oh come Emmanuel
 A silent night for all to tell
  
 Far away in manger lay
 What child is this who sleeps in hay
 Three great kings come from afar
 Joy to the world beneath that star
  
 We’ve heard angels from on high
 Little town of Bethlehem sighs
 Come all ye faithful raise your voice
 Come let us adore our Lord
  
 In all these songs we give Him praise
 For He our sin has far erased
 This Christmas time I hope you know
 The reason for the seasons show
  
 Let Christ be lifted high above
 Tell all your friends of His great love
 That He would leave His royal throne
 To come to earth and die alone

His Mercy Has Covered Me

 My Savior rescued me
 From all my misery
 He set my heart on fire
 He gave me His desire
 He’s with me every day
 He guides me in His way
 He is my hope and strength
 I lay my life at His feet
  
 And I sing Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb
 I sing Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb
 What a wonderful gift He has given to me
 His grace washed my sin away
 Now I rest in His arms and I look in His eyes
 I see His mercy 
 His mercy has covered me

One Very Special Night

 One night
 One very special night
 So many years ago
 Changed the course of History
 That baby in a manger
 So forgotten by the world
 Attended to by shepherds
 Visited by Kings 
 Wrapped in tattered cloths
 And sleeping on the hay
 All but a silent night
 With Sheep baaing
 And horses whinnying
 Cows mooing
 and donkeys adding hee-haws
 They celebrated His birth
 They praised His coming
 They witnessed His arrival
 While the world slept on
 Don't let this Christmas pass
 Without recognizing the past
 Without recognizing that it changed the world
 Don't let this Christmas pass
 Without looking in that manger
 At a lowly child
 Who would change all mankind
 Forever.

So Few

 He was born in a stable in little Bethlehem
 Laid in a manger sleeping on the hay
 Angels beckoned shepherds and kings from other lands
 To see the Son of God that day
  
 What they all knew is that He was born a King
 Despite the surroundings they could see
 Mary and Joseph knew glad tidings He would bring
 The Son of Man would show the way
  
 Oh, what a blessing
 Oh , what an honor
 Oh, what a solemn call it is
 So few had come to the baby born that night
 So few knew Him as a King
  
 Today we decorate with lights and candy canes
 Presents are set under a Christmas tree
 But there are so few that really recognize the day
 As a day they celebrate their King
  
 They think He’s a prophet or a teacher of great truths
 They think He’s a wise man with a gift
 Some even think He’s a fable and never really lived
 Oh how wrong they are to miss the King
  
 Oh, what a blessing
 Oh, what an honor
 Oh, what a solemn call it is
 To be among the few who call this baby King
 So few make Him Lord of their lives
  
 So few bow down to the baby born that night
 So few know the Savior has arrived
 So few recognize He came to give His life
 So few will bow before His throne
  
 The shepherds Knew the story
 The wise men knew the story
 Mary and Joseph knew the story
 Do you?

All Because of Christmas

 I walk through the city and see the lights
 Red, green and blue, they shine so bright
 Each house is lit up in the night
 All because of Christmas
  
 Merchants are smiling as people pay
 For merchandise they bought that day
 They smile as people shop and play
 All because of Christmas
  
 Churches are bustling with holiday fare
 Candies and cookies abundant are there
 The choirs are singing their songs of cheer
 All because of Christmas
  
 Families will gather from miles away
 Have not been together for many a day
 They get along fine and then go their way
 All because of Christmas
  
 But Christmas is more than shopping and food
 More than the lights or family viewed 
 Christmas is when a baby was born
 A long, long time ago
  
 He was born in a stable that Holy night
 Above shone a star of incredible light
 Angels announced His birth that day
 A long, long time ago
  
 He did not come a good life to live
 He came to die and to pardon our sin
 Now we are free from guilt and shame
 And live forever with Him
  
 This Christmas you can enjoy the lights
 The food and the family and presents all right
 But please don’t forget that babe long ago
 Who gave His life just for you
