Do You Hear What I Hear
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite."
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea,
With a voice as big as the sea."
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold."
Said the king to the people everywhere,
"Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light
lyrics by Noël Regney and music by Gloria Shayne Baker
Silent Night (into/prelude)
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant, tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Labor Of Love
It was not a silent night
There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry
In the alley way that night
On the streets of David's town
And the stable was not clean
And the cobblestones were cold
Little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
Had no mother's hand to hold
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
Every beat of her beautiful heart
Was a labor of love
Noble Joseph by her side
Callused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found
On the streets of David's town
In the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on his face
For the baby in her womb
He was the maker of the moon
He was the author of the faith
That could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
Every beat of her beautiful heart
Was a labor of love
Little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
It was a labor of love
It was not a silent night
On the streets of David's town

O Holy Night
Oh holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, Oh night divine
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine, Oh night divine
Amen
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen,
See the little baby, (Amen)
Lyin' in a manger, (Amen)
On Christmas morning,
Amen, amen, amen
See him in the temple, (Amen)
Talking with the elders, (Amen)
Who marveled at his wisdom
Amen, amen, amen
See him by the seaside, (Amen)
Talking with the fishermen, (Amen)
Makin' 'em disciples
Amen, amen, amen
Marchin' to Jerusalem, (Amen)
Wavin' palm branches, (Amen)
In pomp and splendor
Amen, amen, amen
See him in the garden, (Amen)
Talkin' with the Father, (Amen)
In deepest sorrow
Amen, amen, amen
Led before Pilate, (Amen)
Then they crucified him, (Amen)
But he rose on Easter
Amen, amen, amen
Hallelujah! (Amen)
He died to save us, (Amen)
But he lives forever!
Amen, amen, amen
Chorus: Amen…!

Blue Christmas
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same, dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
Merry Christmas With Love
She leaned with her head on the window
Watching evergreen bend in the snow
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago
When children would reach for their stockings
And open the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes
Reflecting the love all around
This year there's no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made its way to the floor
She heard voices outside start to sing
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love
Carolers sang as she opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Driven away by the sound
Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with a song
As she clung to their hands like a child in the night
She found herself singing along
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love
Merry Christmas with love

YOU CAME
(Sherry Anne Lints/Arya’s Song Music/BMI and William Griffith/Griffith Family and Company/ASCAP, 2015)
I stopped to think of all the things
That didn’t work my way
And every opportunity gone by
But just when I give in
I feel your strength within
And I know that everything will be alright
Chorus: You came to touch my blinded eyes so I could see
You came to calm the raging storm inside of me
You came to save a world so lost
You shed your blood on that old cross
For what you’ve done, I’ll never be the same
I praise your name and I’m so glad you came
Looking back at all the things that I have done
How you had your hand on every single one
How you led me through it all
And you never let me fall
And through it all, you gave me strength to stand….
(Chorus) You came to touch my blinded eyes so I could see
You came to calm the raging storm inside of me
You came to save a world so lost
You shed your blood on that old cross
For what you’ve done, I’ll never be the same
I praise your name and I’m so glad you came
You are my healer
You’re my redeemer
The God of Glory
And I’ll tell the story…
(Chorus)
Let There Be Peace on Earth
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow.
To take each moment
And live each moment
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.
(chorus) Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
To take each moment
And live each moment
With peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth,
And let it begin with me.

Born in Bethlehem
Little baby born in Bethlehem
Yes, He was, yes, He was
Little baby born in Bethlehem
Oh, yes, He was
Well, there's a little baby born in Bethlehem
Born right next to a sheep and a lamb
Oh, oh, oh, oh born in Bethlehem
He was preaching in the temple
He was still a child yes, He was, yes, He was
He was preaching in the temple
He was still a child, oh, yes, He was
Well, He was preaching in the temple
He was still a child
Talking 'bout peace and mercy mild
Oh, oh, oh, oh Peace and mercy mild
Well, He started in
A walking cross the land
Yes, He did, yes, He did
Started in walking cross the land
Oh, yes, He did
Well, He started in
A walking cross the land
Son of God turned into man
Oh, oh, oh, oh God turned into man
He caused the blind to see
And the crippled to walk
Yes, He did, yes, He did
Caused the blind to see
And the crippled to walk
Oh, yes, He did
He caused the blind to see
And the crippled to walk
Just give my blessing
And a little small talk
Oh, oh, oh, oh Blessing and a little small talk
Little Baby born in Bethlehem
Yes, He was, yes, He was
Little baby born in Bethlehem
Oh, yes, He was
Well, there's a little baby

Sweet Little Jesus Boy
Sweet little Jesus boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
Long time ago
You were born
Born in a manger Lord
Sweet little Jesus boy
The world treats you mean Lord
Treats me mean too
But that's how things are down here
We don't know who you are
You have told us how
We are trying
Master you have shown us how
Even when you were dying
Just seems like we can't do right
Look how we treated you… (hold…climax… slow it down to end)
But please Sir forgive us Lord
We didn't know it was you
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
