Merry Christmas For You
It all started when my virgin girl grew a baby bump
An angel had to tell me why, cause I was in a slump
I couldn't face her folks, they both assumed that it was me
Mary seemed to take it as our destiny
But God'll know how to guide us, God'll know what to do
And someday it'll make a Merry Christmas For You
Caesar made us travel, so we could pay his tax
No place for weary bones to lodge or to relax
Just a flea bitten stable, but it got worse and stranger
Our baby came that night! ...had to put him in the manger
We're trusting it's going to work out, the way it's supposed to do
And someday it'll make a Merry Christmas For You
Well I'm looking for silver linings; things have been kind of rough
God's has got us through it but I hope we've had enough
Trying to stay positive, fighting off the blues
And hoping this will make a Merry Christmas for you
Bethlehem is nice, But Herod plans to kill our son
An angel told us, "Go to Egypt" so now we're on the run
I'm trusting the Lord to lead us, I pray I'll get it right
So help me God, we're packing up and heading out tonight
I'm thinking we'll need a camel, and maybe a donkey too,
And someday this'll make a Merry Christmas For You
Merry Christmas for you, Merry Christmas for you
We hope all this will make a Merry Christmas, for you!

Merry Christmas Jesus Is Born
There was a miracle long ago
Heaven's gift was sent
God's only Son was born a babe
That night in Bethlehem.
A girl, a carpenter a stable low
It was a rustic scene
Simple shepherds were his guests
No nobles, kings or queens
Merry Christmas! Jesus is born,
Peace and love be with you
The Saviour has come, we smile and sing
Merry Christmas to you!
The Pure and Innocent has finally come
The Truth, the Life, the Way
Each Christmas time we celebrate
His coming and we say
Love, patience, kindness goodness
Fill our hearts tonight
Jesus be our Guiding Star
Shine on us your light
A girl...

A Baby's Cry

A Baby's Cry
400 years of silence, God's people wondered why
He sent no sign nor prophet, no whisper, not a sound
Where was the Messiah, He'd promised would arrive?
A King who would deliver from Romans all around
A prophecy fulfilled, a virgin great with child
To Bethlehem would travel, to birth a special Son
Stuck in a lowly stable, worse than a rustic style
Destiny came calling, for God's plan to be done.
Mary prayed, "Don't let my baby come tonight.
I'm so tired from our travel and this stable is a fright"
But with angels, shepherds and a star in the sky
God broke his years of silence that night with a baby's cry
Shepherds from the meadows, came looking for to see
This miracle the angels revealed to them that night
The child king in a manger fulfilling prophecy
Would set the world on notice, now with a baby's cry
"For unto you is born, in the City of David
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord."
Gloria! Hallelujah! Gloria! Hallelu!
Gloria! Hallelujah! A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord!
Mary prayed...
