"Grown-Up Christmas List"

"Grown-Up Christmas List"


Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well I'm all grown-up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

[Chorus:]
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul

[Chorus]

What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth

[Chorus]

"Happy"

"Happy"



I wanna look behind your eyes
And gently brush the hair back from the face
Cause baby I just realized
Seeing you there in that light
Is better to be kind and right
And I'm about to bridge this kiss between us

Cuz baby I'm ready to dig in
Ready for more than skin on skin
This is where love begins
So I say

I'm gonna tell you bout my man
Cuz it makes you happy
I wanna brush to hold your hand
Y'know it makes me happy
I'm gonna love you best I can
cuz I know it makes you happy

I know I've made some big mistakes
I learned the hardest lessons that await
So adios to foolish pride
I've got nothing left to hide
I stand here open wide
And everything inside of me is saying

Baby I'm ready to dig in
Ready for more than skin on skin
This is where love begins
So I say

I'm gonna tell you you're my man
Cuz it makes you happy
I wanna rush to hold your hand
It makes me so happy
I'm gonna love you best I can
Cuz I know it makes you happy
Oh, y'know I'll make you happy
And I wanna see you happy

I want us to be happy

And we're going to be happy

Cuz baby I'm ready to dig in
Ready for more than skin on skin
This is where love begins

I wanna rush to hold your hand
I wanna see you happy
I'm gonna love you best I can
Cuz y'know it makes you happy
Oh, y'know I'll make you happy
Y'know I wanna see you happy

I'm gonna tell you you're my man
I wanna hear you laughing
I wanna rush to hold your hand
And I love your smile
I'm gonna love you best I can
Cuz that's what makes me happy
Oh y'know I'll make you happy
And I want us to be happy

I'm gonna tell you you're my man
I wanna rush to hold your hand
I'm gonna love you best I can
Cuz I know it makes you happy

"Hard Times"

"Hard Times"


I smile when I remember
All the things we did
The worlds we discovered when I was a kid
Sitting on your shoulders
I was riding high
All of life before me
I could see for miles
You gave me a life to love
And showed me the dreams I was dreaming of
Told me love was enough

[Chorus:]
When hard times come
Hard times come
Hard times come for everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

Lately I've been standing
On my own two feet
There's a pair of watchful eyes
Staring up at me
I will turn them toward the sunrise
Turn them toward the stars
Where the beauty of a new day will always fill the heart
And give you a life to love
And show you the dreams you're dreaming of
Just let love be enough

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
How can you measure what you're made of?
How can you galvanize the love?

Cuz hard times come
They come
Hard times come to everyone
Hard times come
Hard times come
And they'll come till we're done

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"



Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
With angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of Earth
Born to give them second birth
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus our Immanuel
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus our Immanuel

Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with healing in His wings
Christ the highest heaven adore
Christ the everlasting Lord
Come desire of nations come
Fix in us Thy humble home

"Hats"

"Hats"



The sun comes up
The breakfast show
Can't you see me running
It's crazy don't you know?

The moon is high
I'm working through the night
Will somebody tell me
Where do all the hours go?

Well, it don't stop
No, it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear so many things on my head?
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

The water is hot
The phone don't stop
So how do I manage
To hold on to my sanity?

The red dress on
Time for having fun
But can I really be
The girl you think you see in me?

The spirit is willing
But the flesh is weak
Why do I ahve to wear so many things on my head?
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

This may be a dream come true
This may be poetry in motion
This may be a dream come true
But when it all comes down
It's an awful lot to do

HATS!
It don't stop
No it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear things on my head?
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?

HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best
Very best,
HATS!
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

It don't stop
No it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear
Why do I have to wear
HATS!
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
HATS!
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"

"Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"



Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

"He Gave Me A New Song"

"He Gave Me A New Song"



He gave me a new song
He really came down here Himself and sang it for me
In every key
Just for me

He gave me a new light,
Now even when clouds hide the sun my life is still bright
'Cause everything's alright

He gave me a new song
He really came down here Himself and sang it for me
In every key
Just for me

He gave me a love song
Yes it's the first real love song given to me
And oh, what a melody

 

[fox69]

"Heirlooms"

"Heirlooms"



Up in the attic
Down on my knees
Lifetimes of boxes
Timeless to me
Letters and photographs
Yellowed with years
Some bringing laughter
Some bringing tears

Time never changes
The memories, the faces Of loved ones, who bring to me
All that I come from
And all that I live for
And all that I'm going to be
My precious family
Is more than an heirloom to me

Wiseman and shepherds
Down on their knees
Bringing their treasures
To lay at his feet
Who was this wonder baby yet king
Living and dying
He gave life to me

Time never changes
The memory, the moment His love first pierced through me
Telling all that I come from
And all that I live for
And all that I'm going to be
My precious savior
Is more than an heirloom to me

My precious Jesus Is more than an heirloom to me

"Helping Hand"

"Helping Hand"


[Chorus:]
Everybody needs a helping hand
Take a look at your fellow man
And tell me what can I do today
Everybody needs a helping out
If that ain't what it's all about
Tell me what
What can I do
What can I do today

We've all seen trouble from time to time
There is a mountain ahead
I've got no strength to climb, yeah
If you're feeling that you're strong
Reach out to me
I hope this journey won't take long
But won't you please
Have mercy

[Chorus]

I'm talking 'bout the soul all alone
Needing the daily bread
Someplace to lay his head, yeah
And I'm talking about the neighbor on your street
Won't you look him in the eye
Take time to speak
That's mercy

[Chorus]

Love one another
Sister and brother
Love is the only way

[Chorus]

"Here"

"Here"



What does all this beauty mean?
It captures my attention and I'm speechless
Sunset, Tennessee, colors burn across the sky
Slowly fading golden rays
Greet the moon and kiss the day goodbye
And I, do I understand
Is this Your voice, saying "Here I am"?

I am here in the dark
In the quiet of your heart
I am here in your corner of the sky
I'm the light that fades away
At the turning of this day
I am here, I am here
Here, here, yeah

What does all this music mean?
The rhythm of the heartbeat and the symphony of every living thing
Ringing throughout time
The song of every single soul
In harmony our voices intertwined
And when it all began
Was it Your voice, saying "Here I am"?

I am here in the dark
I'm the music in your heart
I'm the song in every corner of the sky
I am here in the light
In the thunder late at night
I am here, I am here
Here, here
I am here

I am here in the dark
I'm the song inside your heart
I'm the missing piece that you've had all along
I am here when you call
When you rise and when you fall
I am here, I am here
I am here, I am here
Here, here
I am here
Here, here
