The first Christmas song I've ever written! At Christmas, we all seem to be a bit more generous, caring, patient, loving, and kind - in short, we all act a little bit more like the Kingdom, and it's music to my ears. :)
lyrics
It’s Christmas, and it’s a good time
to open up our ears to hear the sound
of peace on earth and goodwill to all,
even if the sound of it’s small
‘cause see, it’s Christmas, and all around us
the Good News is a song that’s on repeat –
the verses and the choruses ring
listen close and you’ll hear ‘em singing!
Christmas is a time that’s full of melody
So Jesus, tune my heart to join in merrily
Put rhythm in my feet, and move me to the beat
when I hear Christmas Music
It’s Christmas and we give presents
reminders of the greatest Gift of all
and when we learn to give cheerfully
we are really helping our hearts to sing
Yeah, it’s Christmas and then it’s New Year’s
a reminder of what God makes new in us
It’s such a pretty chorus to hear
We should keep singing that song all year!
Christmas is a time that’s full of melody
So Jesus, tune my heart to join in merrily
Put rhythm in my feet, and move me to the beat
when I hear Christmas Music
Sounds of joy and hope and love
It’s like the heavens open up just to sing with us
