"Hardly Hanging On"
(performed by Sisyphus)

"Hardly Hanging On"
(performed by Sisyphus)



[Sufjan:]
Yeah I'm still alone
Breathing on the floor
And I look just like a baby
And I feel just like a dog
It was my choice
It was my first thought
You can read it in my waiver
You can hear it in my prayer
You can feel it in my soul
It was my choice
The life that I create
I am nothing to you
I am nothing to you
And I may look just like a baby
And I may feel just like a dog
It may not look just like I'm fading
It may not look just like I'm fading

[Hook x3:]
But I am hardly hanging on [x4]
It was my choice [x6]
But I am hardly hanging on

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"


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

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

"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 Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather 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 Woke Me Up Again"

"He Woke Me Up Again"


He was, he was in the churchyard
My father was in the first part
He came, he came to my bedroom
But I was asleep

And he woke me up again to say...

Halle, halle, hallelujah
Holy, holy is the sound
And I hope, I hope you are tired out
And I know, I know there is joy endowed

But I was asleep
And he woke me up again
And he woke me up again to say...

Hold on, hold on to your old ways
Or put off, put off every old face
And I know, I know you are changed out
And I hope, I hope you're arranged out

But I'm still asleep
And you woke me up again
And I'm still asleep
But you woke me up to be holy

"Heirloom"

"Heirloom"


When your heirloom's wilted brown
When the devil's pushing down
When your mourning has a sound
And you hesitate to laugh
How quickly will your joy pass
How quickly will your joy pass

And when you walk inside I feel the door
I'll never let it push your arms no more
And when your legs give out just lie right down
And I will kiss you till your breath is found
And when you walk inside I feel the door
I'll never let it push your arms no more

So do you think I came to fight?
And do I always think I'm right?
Oh no I never meant to be a pest to anyone this time
Oh no I only meant to be a friend to everyone this time

"Hey Guys! It's Christmas Time!"

"Hey Guys! It's Christmas Time!"


We can walk out after dark,
Because it's Christmas time
Colored lights glow from the park,
Because it's Christmas time.
And the bells on the reindeer sled say,
It's Christmas time
And the quilt on the back of the bed say,
It's Christmas time

I think about how we could run away,
Now that it's Christmas time
We travel in a one horse open sleigh,
Now that it's Christmas time

There's your father with his pipe,
He says it's Christmas time
He might let us stay up all night,
Because it's Christmas time
I might wish you all the best
Because it's Christmas time
I might kiss you on the back of your neck
Because it's Christmas time

I think about how we could run away,
Now that it's Christmas time
We travel in a one horse open sleigh,
Now that it's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

"Holland"

"Holland"


All the time we spent in bed
Counting miles before we set
Fall in love and fall apart
Things will end before they start

Sleeping on Lake Michigan
Factories and marching bands
Lose our clothes in summer time
Lose ourselves to lose our minds
In the summer heat, I might

"Holy, Holy, Holy"

"Holy, Holy, Holy"


Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning
our song shall rise to thee
There is a sign at the sight of theee,
Merciful and mighty
God in three Persons,
God in three Persons,
Blessed Trinity

Holy, holy, holy!
Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy;
There is none beside thee,
Perfect in power
Perfect in power
In love, and purity

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy Name, in
Earth, and sky, and sea
There is a sign at the sight of theee,
There is none beside thee,
God in three Persons,
God in three Persons,
God in three Persons,
God in three Persons,
Blessed Trinity

"How Shall I Fitly Meet Thee?"

"How Shall I Fitly Meet Thee?"


How shall I fitly meet Thee
And give Thee welcome due?
The nations long to greet Thee
And I would greet Thee too
O Fount of light, shine brightly
Upon my darken'd heart
That I may serve Thee rightly
And know Thee as Thou art
