(Traditional - Arranged By McDonald & Harris)
It is the song that fills the night The star that lights our way So begins our greatest hope Come to bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the lord the newborn king Glo-ori-a in excelsis de-o |

How many would believe That a lamb lost unto this world Would be the victory that we need As he lay beneath the shining star Chosen before time began Eternal love from our father It takes a miracle To the world it is impossible It takes a miracle To the mind it is illogical [Chorus:] A world in need A heart in chains That's all god needs To make a miracle A soul ashamed A life of pain That's all god needs To make a miracle How does a wise man know That it's not just another star How do I chose to follow What speaks unto my heart It takes a miracle How sweet the sound my father's voice It takes a miracle This holy night we will rejoice [Chorus] This time has come that we might know his way In this world a need to find our faith To understand what we know nothing of We lead the faith to understand the power of love It takes a miracle How sweet the sound my father's voice It takes a miracle |

Old man winter's coming on The nights are long and the days are gray The fading sound of the robin's song Summer days seem a lifetime away It's the time that we look to each other To raise our spirits and chase the blues away That time of year when we all get together I see it comin' I can hardly wait [Chorus:] It's all right I can't stop thinkin' 'bout it It's a good life no time to be sad I feel so right every time christmas comes around Children's laughter and the snow on the ground Starts lifting my heart up baby I feel the love and the joy all around That's how I know that it's christmas darlin' So glad that we've still got each other And this love is a gift we'll exchange A prayer for peace for my sisters and brothers Let's ring the bell and bring on the holidays |

I have come from so far away
Down the road of my own mistakes In the hope you could hear me pray Oh lord, keep me in your reach How I've longed through these wasted years To outrun all the pain and fear Turned to stone from my uncried tears And now it's your grace I seek Love won't compromise It's a gift, it's a sacrifice My soul renewed, and my heart released In you I'll find my peace Wondrous child of whom the angels sing Know my joy, feel my suffering Shining star make this love you bring So bright that I may believe That my way will not be lost From now on, 'til that river's crossed My soul renewed, and my spirit free In you I'll find my peace |

So many will worry On this christmas day But many just goes so far anyway When the shopping is over It's all said and done The story's the same for everyone 'cause one gift Already given that will stand the test of time Love and mercy Sweet forgiveness A gift from god the father to all mankind Hallelujah [Repeat] Christmas is special The time that we share The joy and the music fill the air But let us remember The message is clear He sent us a savior to draw us near With one love From the beginning That will span the rest of time A child is born to a world that lies waiting To prove our father's love for all mankind Hallelujah [Repeat] This good news The greatest gift we share So let us have no fear As we sing hallelujah 'cause one gift Already given That will stand the test of time Love and mercy Sweet forgiveness A gift from god the father to all mankind Hallelujah |

In a world of no hope A light will shine brightly That all men might know The meaning of mercy and of Love beyond all love The peace that rests the soul The heart will open And search no more [Chorus:] Behold I bring you tidings Tidings of great joy The world has found it's answer In a child that's born On this night Sing out across the seas Cry out from the mountains The son of man is born So sing of his mercy and his Peace beyond all peace The king of kings has come (let) every heart surrender Every soul reborn |

Guess that we could always want for something more Then how much is enough So much for all the things we know we can't afford I don't need any more stuff baby Let everybody else rush around, fight the crowds Only to ask themselves why All I need is just some mistletoe, you and i Baby I'm satisfied right here in your arms [Chorus:] Baby, we got a house full of love We got a house full of love Might not be rich enough, baby we got love And that's all we really need We got a house full of love So baby come to me and sit here by the fire And let the world rush on by We'll find the magic of a christmas long ago Just like the very first time Let everybody else lose their minds, wait in line Only to ask themselves why All I need is just to be with you christmas eve That's all the present that I'll ever need [Chorus] We got a house full of love now baby All I need is just to be with you christmas eve That's all the present that I'll ever need |

Old december's here at last Time for celebration Christmas present, christmas past Tumble down together like The snow What a show Now the snowman someone made Is melting by the road side On the wind a serenade Children's voices singing I believe I believe in us I believe [Chorus:] On christmas morning You awaken with a smile You hold me in your arms We watch the snowflakes fly And then you love me And I realize How sweet love can be All the memories Coming back again each year On christmas morning Sentimental melodies surround me Like an old friend She spent the winter here with me Silently we watched the season change And they change so fast and fade away |

I saw us walking to the river And I was wondering what it means It looked like people had come together As if we all believed in the same thing Can you feel it It feels like mercy Hear that music It sounds like grace Let it be in my nature To look at my brother And see my father's face [Chorus:] I want to be in the sririt I want to be there when we cross that stream As a people we're gonna get there We'll find a way To make a world out of a dream See that fire Burn in the distance Looks like redemption on its way I heard a million voices That sounded like angels Here's what I thought I heard them say [Chorus] Oh children don't grow weary 'cause we have nothing to fear With god on our side, as we move forward I know everything is gonna be alright |
