What Is Christmas? 

Is it all about your family like they say?  
Letting go your worries for a day?  
Is it a star on a tree
Or a present in a bow?  
I don't know  
Is there any bell that still rings true?  
Tell me, what is Christmas to you?  

Is it giving to the ones you're holding dear?  
Or getting what you've hinted at all year?  
Is it a mall or a manger 
Or an angel all aglow?  
I don't know  
Is there any bell that still rings true?  
Tell me, what is Christmas to you?  

Staying sunny under feet of snow  
Getting lucky under mistletoe  
Wise men seeing stars  
I'm putting lights up in the yard  
That's what I do  
Tell me, what is Christmas to you?  

What is Christmas?  
What is Christmas?  
What is Christmas? 

Is is all about a baby born to save?  
God becoming man to show the way?  
Is there a bell that still rings true?    
Tell me, what is Christmas to you?  

Staying sunny under feet of snow  
Getting lucky under mistletoe  
Wise men seeing stars  
I'm putting lights up in the yard  
That's what I do  
Tell me, what is Christmas to you?  

What is Christmas?  
What is Christmas?  
What is Christmas?  
What is Christmas to you?

Good News (On Christmas) 

Behold, I bring to you 
Good news of great joy 
That will be for all of you 
Good news of great joy 

In Bethlehem the Lord has come 
While the angels sing the glories of 
The Holy King who humbly comes 
On Christmas, on Christmas 

Behold, I bring to you 
Good news of great joy 
That will be for all of you 
Good news of great joy 

In Bethlehem the Lord has come 
To the poor and meek and lowly ones 
The Greatest has the Least become 
On Christmas, on Christmas 

Behold, I bring to you 
Good news of great joy 
That will be for all of you 
Good news of great joy 

In Bethlehem the Lord has come 
You'll find him dressed in flesh & blood 
In the Lion's stead a Lamb has come 
On Christmas, on Christmas

I Can Tell It's Christmas  

Counting the days 
On chocolate displays 
The time is near 
Peeking to see 
What’s under the tree 
The evergrowing mystery 

Minding the time 
Til’ grandma arrives 
With books to read 
Oven aglow 
With gingerbread dough 
There’s some for me 
That’s gluten free 

I can tell it’s Christmas  
All my dearest friends are calling 
I can tell it’s Christmas  
Even if the snow’s not falling 
We don’t need a wishlist 
Just the gifts of joy and wonder 
Celebrating Christmas  
In the way we love each other 

Went to the shops 
And we saw a lot  
Of fancy things 
But walking along 
While you sing a song 
Is my idea of revelry 

I can tell it’s Christmas  
All my dearest friends are calling 
I can tell it’s Christmas  
Even if the snow’s not falling 
We don’t need a wishlist 
Just the gifts of joy and wonder 
Celebrating Christmas  
In the way we love each other 

No, we might not have a lot 
That we can give 
So why not give what we have? 
On this strange holiday  
We just give love away 
And away and away 

Kiss you goodnight  
I turn out the light 
It’s Christmas Eve 
Lying in bed 
With thoughts in my head  
So busy dreaming 
I can’t sleep 

But I can tell it’s Christmas   
All my dearest friends are calling  
I can tell it’s Christmas   
Even if the snow’s not falling  
We don’t need a wishlist  
Just the gifts of joy and wonder  
Celebrating Christmas   
In the way we love each other

I can tell it’s Christmas   
All my dearest friends are calling  
I can tell it’s Christmas   
Even if the snow’s not falling  
We don’t need a wishlist  
Just the gifts of joy and wonder  
Celebrating Christmas   
In the way we love each other

Winter Coat 

I will wrap you round 
Like a winter coat 
As I make my way 
Through the coldest snow 
I will wrap you round 
I’ll be warm and well 
On the longest night 
I will wrap myself 

In you, in you 

I will wrap you round 
Like a winter coat 
As I make my way 
Through the coldest snow 
On the darkest day 
I’ll be warm and well 
On the longest night  
I will wrap myself 

In you, in you 

I will wrap myself  
In you, in you

Magnificat 

O my soul will magnify 
The Lord, the Lord beyond the heights 
Who called to me in low estate 
A maiden for His name 

All the world will come to see 
The good the Lord has done for me 
The Mighty One the humble saves 
And holy is His name 

All my soul is "yes" to Thee 
So birth this in the earth through me 
As You have said so let it be 
So let it be with me 
So let it be with me 

O my soul will magnify 
His goodness as the years go by 
His mercy to all generations  
All who speak His name  

All the heights shall be made low 
The prideful scattered off their thrones 
The meek and hungry given grace 
For holy is His name 

All my soul is "yes" to Thee 
So birth this in the earth through me 
As You have said so let it be 
So let it be with me 
So let it be with me 

A Child, a Child a King shall be 
A Light, a Light shall come through me 
As You have said so let it be 
So let it be with me 
So let it be with me

Christmas Falling 

Let there be peace on the Earth everyday 
Let them be more than
Just words people pray 
Don’t what it is about December 
Finds a way to make the heart remember 

Snowflakes floating 
Little angels dressed in white 
Christmas falling 
On the weary world tonight 

Another year in the blink of an eye 
We go to sleep and it passes us by 
Something about the winter 
Makes me miss you 
Hope that you can feel 
The love I wish you 

Snowflakes floating 
Little angels dressed in white 
Christmas falling 
On the weary world tonight 

Let there be peace on the Earth everyday  
Let them be more than 
Just words people pray  
Don’t what it is about December  
Finds a way to make the heart remember  

Snowflakes floating  
Little angels dressed in white  
Christmas falling  
On the weary world tonight 

Snowflakes floating   
Little angels dressed in white   
Christmas falling   
On the weary world tonight

LUCY: “I know how you feel about all this Christmas business, getting depressed and all that. It happens to me every year. I never get what I really want. I always get a lot of stupid toys or a bicycle or clothes or something like that.” 
CHARLIE: “What is it you want?” 
LUCY: “Real estate.”

Evergreen 

It was dark when we got home 
The winter sun had dipped below  
Fields that wore their coldest coat of snow 
We saw our breath in fading light 
And made the long trek up the drive 
Caught a glimpse of glowing light inside 

They put it up and wrapped it round  
With tons of lights among the boughs 
We came in and gathered round 
The evergreen  
The evergreen 

Dad was building the Christmas train
Around the tree the tracks were laid 
Beneath the star  we made of paper and tape
The ornaments were all laid out 
Some we made and some we found 
And mom said some 
Had been passed down like crowns 

We put them on and wrapped them round
Then went to sleep and dreamed about 
The magic things that might be found
Beneath the evergreen 
The evergreen 

We put it up, wrap it round 
And give it to our own kids now 
The gift that we were handed down
Memories around a Christmas Tree 

Mark the years in noble fir 
In candlelight and frozen earth  
In smell of pine and carol verses heard
Gathered in my memory 
Of mom and dad and you and me 
Glows a tree that in my dream 
Is evergreen

Even the Winter 

What if we find ourselves 
Beneath the snow? 
Our warmest words all frozen 
In our throats? 
And all we feel is left out in the cold? 
You know? 

What if the days grow short 
And lose their light? 
What if the coals burn black 
And the embers die? 
And we can't find each other in the night
You and I? 

Even the winter won't last forever 
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun 
We'll wake up in April, ready and able
Sowing the seeds in the soil 

Of our love 
Of our love 

What if the ice we tread 
Is just too thin? 
What if we can't escape 
The squall we're in? 
What if our hearts of stone are permanent
What then? 

Even the winter won't last forever 
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun 
We'll wake up in April, ready and able
Sowing the seeds in the soil 

Of our love 
Of our love 

What if the spring comes soon 
And we're surprised? 
What if the seasons help us realize? 
Some things are only proven over time 

And even the winter won't last forever 
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun 
We'll wake up in April, ready and able
Sowing the seeds in the soil 

And even the darkness cannot disarm us 
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun 
We'll break up the earth,  
'Cause we know that it's worth it 
Sowing the seeds in the soil 

Of our love 
Of our love 
Of our love 
Of our love
