"Carol Of The Bells / What Child Is This?"

"Carol Of The Bells / What Child Is This?"


Carol Of The Bells
Hark! how the bells
Sweet silver bells
All seem to say,
"throw cares away."
Christmas is here
Bringing good cheer
To young and old
Meek and the bold
Ding, dong, ding, dong
That is their song
With joyful ring
All caroling
One seems to hear
Words of good cheer
From ev'rywhere
Filling the air
O how happy are their tones
Gaily they ring
While people sing
Songs of good cheer
Christmas is here
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry christmas
On, on they send
On without end
Their joyful tone
To ev'ry home
[repeat from the beginning]
Ding, dong, ding, dong
What Child Is This?
What child is this, who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap, is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant king to own Him,
The King of kings, salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!

"Chalk In The Rain"

"Chalk In The Rain"


We want it all, we want it now
We want life to be fair, everybody does
We lose ourselves under the faces
That we learn to wear, oh we just wanna be loved
We’re so busy tryin’ to find wonderland
We forget just what we’ve got right here in our hands

All I know is we gotta hold on to
The beautiful before it’s gone
Life is a sidewalk Mona Lisa
And it breaks your heart when you see her
Wash away
It’s all just chalk in the rain

We wanna laugh ... we wanna live
We’re dyin’ for peace ... in the worst way
When will we learn to trust each other
Have a little faith ... and not be afraid
Every moment’s fleeting ... like a breath in the wind
The truth is we may never pass this way again

Let’s slow down
Take a good look around
At what we got
Before the sky opens up

It’s all just chalk in the rain...

"Circle Of Friends"

"Circle Of Friends"


We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands
Will cost you far too much
Spent so many lonely years just tryin' to fit in
Now I've found my place
In this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That every orphan soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
If you weep, I will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us
Will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside
There's no need to pretend
That's that way it is in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That we'll gather together
No matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends
Among the nations, tribes, and tounges
We have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in Heaven
We will recognize each other
With joy so deep (joy so deep)
And love so sweet (love so sweet)
We'll celebrate these friends
And life that never ends
In a circle of friends
We have one Father
In a circle of friends
We share this prayer
That it will not be long
Before all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
That it will not be long
Before all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
Circle of friends...

"Come To Jesus"

"Come To Jesus"


This is for the weary and the weak
This is for the desperate and ashamed
This is for the hopeless hiding in the shadows
Cupping hands around a flicker of faith
This is for the ones who don't belong
This is for the silent castaways
This is for the sinner peeking through the stained glass
From a sidewalk in the cold, driving rain
We all fall down
We all need saving once in a while
You are not alone
We all lose faith
And lean on mercy but through our darkest night
He said He'd wait for us
Just come to Jesus
For anyone who's given up on God
For those who've tripped and fallen out of grace
For anyone who's looking
To the bottom of a bottle
For the strength to make it through another day
He did not come to raise the living
Or touch the eyes of those who see...
It was for the bitter and burned out
It was for the unforgivable
It was for the failure standing on the bridge
Because the guilt's too high a price to pay to live

"Coventry Carol"

"Coventry Carol"


[The Chorus is the same, however the verses are very different]
Luly Lullay, Thou Little tiny child
By By Luly, lullay
Thou little tiny child
By By Luly lullay
The 3 kings traveled from afar
and offered their gifts so rare
they bowed in awe beneath that star
their homage to declare
Now we come too, to see the child
to see the child divine
we offer now to Him so mild
the gift of ourselves, a sign.
Luly lullay - thou little tiny child
By By luly lullay. [repeat]

"Do It Again"

"Do It Again"


Just when I think it couldn't be
Any harder down here
Another blow comes out of nowhere
And knocks me out again
And when I think I'm all alone
The phone starts to ring
It's just the voice I needed to hear
On the other end

[Chorus]
You do it again, You do it again
You speak to me just like a friend
You always seem to show up right on time
You do it again, I guess you know when
My heart needs to hear your voice
I'm so forgetful, that's why I'm thankful
You do it again

I could be driving in my car
I turn the radio on
Trying to figure out my thoughts
Then I hear the perfect song
I can open up Your word
And not be sure where to turn
But I start to read and it's like you know
Just what I need

[Chorus]

You use all these things to speak to me
Could it be you're using me
In someone else's life
Well I wouldn't be surprised

[Chorus]

"Down"

"Down"


Curiosity can get the best of me
As I try to conceive the inconceivable
All philosophy is escaping me
As I try to believe the unbelievable

I wanna believe
Without a single question
Oh Lord hear my confession

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know
Though I don't know everything
And I believe that I could never truly figure it out
'Cause You are so much more than me
Above me - beyond me
So far over my head but I still see You
And I am finally making sense of it all
As the wisdom of this fool begins to fall, fall, fall
Down

The story of my soul seems like a broken road
And how I'm standing here is unbelievable
Keep me lost in the mystery - down here on my knees
The only way that I can reach what seems unreachable

I wanna believe
Without a single question

Oh Lord hear my confession

[Chorus]

"Drawing Me Closer"

"Drawing Me Closer"


It's the hope I know, the grace you show
That drawing me closer, drawing me closer
It's the peace I feel, it's your love so real
That's drawing me closer (repeat)

I'd be lost here inside myself
I'd be nothing without You
If Your ways didn't pull me in
Like they do

[Chorus]
It's the hope I know, the grace you show
That drawing me closer, drawing me closer
It's the peace I feel, it's your love so real
That's drawing me closer
And my heart beats with pure amazement
Every time I fell the tender touch of your love
Drawing me closer

Tell me how when You hold me near
I can feel so free
Where would I be if not for You
Moving me

[Chorus]

Your love
I can hear your voice it's calling me
To the shelter of Your arms
It's the hope I know, the grace You show
That's drawing me closer
It's the peace I feel, it's Your love so real
That's drawing me closer

[Chorus]

Your love
Drawing me closer, closer, closer
Hey, hey now hear your voice it's callin me
Hey, hey now drawing me closer
Hey, hey now Everybody come and see
Hey, hey now yeah
Drawing me closer
Hey, hey now...

"Dying To Reach You"

"Dying To Reach You"


He looked through temples of time
To see you right where you stand
He emptied all of Himself
So He could reach out His hand
To give hope and meaning
To the wasted away
And you are one of the ones
That He was dying to save

He was dying to reach you
Trying to meet you
Where you need Him most
You've been living in search of
The whole truth and real love
Your whole life through
You can open your heart
'Cause He's dying to reach you
He's standing there at the door
You can hear Him call you by name
He simply waits to forgive
All of the guilt and the shame
He gave up His own life
And He still bears the scars
He only wants to receive you
So come as you are
[repeat]
Oh, He has waited time and time before
You must be still and know that He is Lord
[repeat]

"Emmanuel, God With Us / O Come, O Come Emmanuel"

"Emmanuel, God With Us / O Come, O Come Emmanuel"


She lit a candle in a downtown cathedral
Quietly confessing, counting on a blessing
She looked as if she had nowhere to go
I could see her weeping
Hands together hoping you would hear...

This is the time of year
We hold our families near
But God let us be a friend to the hurting

Oh Emmanuel, God with us
Spirit revealed in us
That we may be your hope to the world
Oh Emmanuel, God with us
With a light to break the darkness
That we may show your hope to the world
Emmanuel, God with us
Be God in us

I moved in closer just so I could see her face
Maybe she was a mother
Someone's only daughter
Her silver hair shimmered like the snow
Christmas bells were ringing
Now beside her kneeling I asked her name

(And she said)
This was the time of year
I had my family near
But they've all gone and I have been so lonely
[Chorus]

So with my family that Christmas day
A girl of sixty years would laugh and play
And as we watched her dance our eyes were full of tears...
