Music for the Little Soul Christmas

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
Mark 16:15

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

When I am in trouble
I know that I can pray
I ask my Lord to help me
And he shows me the way

CHORUS

The love of Christ our Savior
Is like a precious pearl
So climb the highest mountain
And shout it to the world

CHORUS TWICE

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go – go – go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is born

NO ROOM IN THE INN
(Mandeville/Siler)
Luke 2:7

There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart
There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart
Give your heart to Jesus on this Christmas Day
Then go out and give his love away
but you can make room in your heart

Joseph and Mary found
no room in the inn
and so they stayed in a tiny barn
There was no room in the inn
and so they stayed in a tiny barn
That Christmas night a miracle occurred
The blessed baby Jesus came into the world
There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart

Give your heart to Jesus each and every day
Then go out and give his love away
There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
Luke 2:15

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above the 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

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

THE LITTLE BROWN BURRO
(Madeville/Siler)
Luke 2:4 & 5

There was a little brown burro
A shaggy creature was he
But with one act of service
He made history
For it was upon his back
that Jesus’ mother rode
All the way to Bethlehem
on that night of old

The humble shall be lifted up
The meek shall inherit the earth
Remember the little brown burro
who carried Mary to the place
of the savior’s birth

Joseph knew the journey
would be dusty and long
So he looked for a donkey
A servant sturdy and strong
The burro walked those many miles
without thought of reward
’til the stable came in sight
The birthplace of our Lord

THE LORD SENT A BABY

God wanted to tell us he loved us
in a way that we’d never forget
So he looked down on Bethlehem town
and sent our savior
to a manger

The Lord sent a baby
The Lord sent a baby
The Lord sent a baby to bring us good news
The Lord sent a baby that first Christmas night
and 2,000 years later his love still shines bright

Just like on that very first Christmas
God wants us to love him today
So let all earth remember his birth
When love came to meet us
in the baby Jesus

We watch and wait
Anticipate

Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace

GIFTS FROM GOD
(Mandeville/Siler)
James 1:17

It’s snowing outside
A winter delight
and there’s no place that we have to go
The fire is bright
It’s cozy tonight
As we sit here sipping our cocoa
And the moments that we share just like these
that make our treasured memories
are

Gifts from God
Just look around
They’re everywhere to be found
Gifts from God (gifts from God)
He gave us Christmas when Jesus came down
God gives us everything
Even this song we sing
Every good thing that you’ve got
is another wonderful one of those
Gifts from God

Your mom and your dad
The friends that you have
and all of the food that you eat
The hair ‘neath your hat
Your dog or your cat
Right down to the air that you breath
Every single little piece of your stuff
and all the people that you love
are

CHORUS

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY
Psalm 95:6

Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight o’er all the earth
Ye who sang creations’s story
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King

Shepherds in the fields abiding
Watching o’er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King

THE FIRST NOEL
Luke 2:20

The First Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields as they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.

CHORUS TWICE

Noel
Noel
Noel
Noel

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS
(Mandeville/Siler)
Luke 2:10-11

We’ve got a tree in the living room
We’ve got the colored lights
We’ve got the relatives coming soon
They’ll be a feast tonight
and later on today we’re gonna bake
A very extra special birthday cake

Happy birthday Jesus
Happy birthday Lord
You’re the one this whole fuss
is really for
In all the celebration
Won’t let you be ignored
Happy birthday Jesus
Happy birthday Lord

We’ve got our red and green table cloth
We’ve got our candy canes
We’ve our grandma’s cranberry sauce
Whoa! We’ve got a crowded plate
When we’re stuffed and can’t eat one more thing
We’ll light the candles and then all sing

CHORUS

AWAY IN A MANGER
Luke 2:7

Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle ’til morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with thee there

WE THREE KINGS OF ORIENT ARE
Matthew 2:1-2

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light

Glorious now behold him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, Alleluia
Earth to heaven replies

O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

CHORUS

1-2-3
We three kings
1-2-3
We three kings
1-2-3
We three kings
We three kings

CHRISTMAS IS…
(Mandeville/Siler)
2 Corinthians 8:7

Christmas shouldn’t be about
the traffic jams and angry crowds
and shopping at the malls ’til we drop
Christmas isn’t just new toys
and candy for the girls and boys
and making sure I get what I want

Christmas is sharing
and laughing and caring
A chance for us all to give
Christmas is hugging
and singing and loving
Like Jesus wants us to live
That is what Christmas is

Christmas shouldn’t be so rushed
as if there isn’t time enough
We start before Thanksgiving is through
Christmas shouldn’t be so loud
with Jesus almost crowded out
Lord, we should be thinking of you

CHORUS
That is what Christmas is

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
Luke 2: 8 & 9

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth goodwill to men
From heaven’s all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

It came
(Upon a midnight clear)
It came
(Upon a midnight clear)

For lo, the days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old
When with ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing

It came
(Upon a midnight clear)
It came
(Upon a midnight clear)
It came
(Upon a midnight clear)

HOORAY FOR JESUS CHRIST!
(Mandeville/Siler)
Revelation 5:13

There are cookies and cakes and hot chocolate
There are tinsel and glittering bulbs
But people forget that it’s Jesus
whose gift was most precious of all
There’s a tree that’s surrounded by boxes
Brightly wrapped up in ribbons and bows
But what really matters at Christmas
Is telling God you love him so

Christmas has lots of presents
Christmas has colored lights
But on Christmas Day
Let’s celebrate and say
Hooray for Jesus Christ!

Maybe you’ll have some turkey and stuffing
or you’ll play with some toys in the snow
Then you’ll come in by the fire
And thaw out your cheeks and your toes
But as you feel the glow of fire
Remember the warmth in your heart
That comes from the love of Lord Jesus
Where all of true happiness starts

CHORUS

Christmas is exciting
The best day of the year
So let’s praise the one
who’s the reason it’s here!

CHORUS
So on Christmas Day
Let’s celebrate and say
Hooray for Jesus Christ!
