Without Christmas

Verse 1
I heard a young man say,
“Grandpa what’s the point to all these decorations,
The point to all these Christmas day charades?
It seems like such a waste,
To celebrate the birth of one baby boy,
That happened so long ago, so far away.”
The old man turned his head to look his way,
And in his heart he said a prayer “God, help me know just what to say”.
And he said…
Chorus
Without a Silent Night, without a Holy night in Bethlehem
Without the angels singing joyfully to proclaim the First Noel
Without the manger bed to hold the newborn Savior of the World
Without Christmas, there’s no Easter, and this is why, I celebrate His birth
Verse 2
So many souls today,
Put their joy in reindeer songs, and shopping malls,
A jolly man who drives a Christmas sleigh
But if they’d only see,
How the magic of this time of year, is simply joy of knowing Christ the King
The beauty of this season’s peace on earth
Is the God made flesh who came to us as we celebrate His birth!
Bridge
And on that night in Bethlehem, as the shepherds watched the angels sing, “behold the Great I Am!”
A star would show a holy light to declare the one who’d conquer death and give to man new life!

Verse 1
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel
Verse 2
O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight
Refrain
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

Verse 1
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
Verse 2
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
Verse 3
O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray!
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!

Verse 1
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
Verse 2
What can I give him?
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would give a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what I can I give him
I’ll give him my heart
I’ll Give him my heart
Ending (written by Matt Case)
When I say I’ll give my heart
I mean I’ll give Him everything
For in this bleak and frozen world
He turned my winter into spring
For He alone is all I want
The joy, the hope, the life in me
And in Him summer awaits for all,
For those who say
I’ll give Him my heart
I will give Him my heart

O Holy Night
05:38

Verse 1
O 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!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born.
O night, divine, O night, O night divine.
Verse 2
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!
Christ is the Lord, O praise His name forever!
His pow’r and glory, evermore proclaim!
His pow’r and glory, evermore proclaim!
Reprise
Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born.
O night, divine, O night, O night divine.

Silent Night

Verse 1
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace
Verse 2
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born
Verse 3
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
