"JESUS IS BORN TODAY" PROJECT
JESUS IS BORN TODAY
V1.
Prophets proclaimed it, so long ago
God sent an angel so that Mary would know
Shepherds have gathered around a cradle of hay
For Jesus is born today
Chorus:
Jesus is born today
Jesus is born today
Let's left our voices, til the world hears us say
Jesus is born today, Jesus is born today
V2:
There are so many people
Who still do not know
That they have a Savior
Sent to rescue their soul
God is depending on us to proclaim
A Savior is born today

CHRISTMAS CRADLE
V1:
There wasn't a crib of silver
With satin and lace inside
Waiting there when Mary delivered
The precious Holy Christ child
Chorus:
But the Christmas cradle was like no other
Thought it was just a manger
It held the King Of Kings
How could it be, that Deity, for you and me
Would leave Heaven for a stable
Love led the Savior to fill
The Christmas cradle
V2:
They wrapped Him in rags of a pauper
Instead of a blanket off blue
His bed of hay became of place of honor
Where the long awaited promise came true
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Away in a manager, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus, lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky, looked down where He laid
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
Tag:
How could it be, that deity for you and me
Would leave Heaven for a stable
Love led the Savior to fill
The Christmas cradle
MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS
V1:
It's that wonderful time in December, time to remember
The birthday of the King Jesus, born in Bethlehem
Through the cold and the stormy weather, We get together,
To celebrate the joy of Jesus
With family and friends
Chorus:
We say Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas to you
Let's have a tree and some presents, lights and shiny ribbons
Candy and a carol or two
Through this season of our Savior's love, in everything we do
We'll be saying Merry Merry Christmas
Merry Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas to you
V2:
We made list and we did a little shopping
To fill up the stockings, in honor of the gift of Jesus
The greatest gift we know
There's a star on a homemade stable, some paper angels
A manager with the baby Jesus
He's why children young and old...
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
Through this season of our Savior's love
In everything we do, we'll be saying
Merry Merry Christmas, Merry Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas to you

WHITE CHRISTMAS
V1
The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, L.A.
But it's December the twenty-fourth
And I'm longing to be up North
Chorus:
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen, to hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May you days be merry and bright
And may all our Christmas' be white
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas' be white

There's a new king born in Bethlehem
He is the son of the Great I Am
He's come to save this world from sin

While shepherds watched their flock by night
They heard the sound of the angels wings
They rejoiced when they heard them say

Bearing gifts for the new born king
Following the star so bright
Leading them to Heaven's pure light

EVEN THEN
V1:
In a tiny cattle stable, on a manager made of hay
The star was shining brightly, over where the Savior lay
Though all of Heavens' angels, whispered tiding of great joy
To those who gathered round, he seemed like, just a baby boy
Chorus:
Even then He was king
Master and maker of everything
Bound for a cross, to gather the lost
Into His arms again
He was king, even then
V2:
It's wasn't long til Wiseman, heard the news of Him
Leaving their own countries, they made their way to Bethlehem
They brought their greatest treasures, and laid them at His side
Then fell down and worshipped Him, they must have recognized
Repeat Chorus
Tag:
Bound for a cross, to gather the lost
Into His arms again
He was king, even then

KIDS MEDLEY:
RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER & FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
V1:
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall, the most famous reindeer of all
Chorus:
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph, join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say
Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight
Then how the reindeer loved him, as they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you'll go down in history
V2:
Frosty the snowman, was a jolly happy soul
With a corn-cob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman, was alive as he could be
But the children say he could laugh and play, just the same as you and me
Thumpity thump thump, Thumpity thump thump - look at Frosty go
Thumpity thump thump, Thumpity thump thump - over the hills of snow

SWEET BABY JESUS
V1:
A child-like faith through a crown of thorns
A child shall lead them a child is born
In a Bethlehem stable, Mary gave birth
Bethlehem cradle, the hope of the earth
The glory of Heaven shown in the light
Of the star of a king, on that first Christmas night
Chorus:
Sweet baby Jesus
Child of God, King of Kings
Sweet baby Jesus
Let the Christmas bells ring
V2:
Now the Bethlehem stable has crumbled to dust
The nails men drove through your hands are now rust
Born to die a carpenter's son
On a cross between thieves, when your work was done
And kings and kingdoms, have come and they've gone
But the babe in the Bethlehem manger live on
Repeat Chorus

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
V1:
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Chorus:
Glo_ _or_ _ia
In excelsis deo
Glor_ _or_ _ia
In excelsis deo
V2:
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
Repeat Chorus

A CHRISTMAS SONG
V1:
It only comes but once a year
It brings us so much joy and cheer
To see little ones, that we hold dear
Get what they want at Christmas
But if you will, think long ago
A shining star, maybe falling snow
And in a manger there below
Lay Jesus Christ the King
Chorus:
He was the only sacrifice
God the Father knew no other would be
For without Jesus, there would be no Christmas
But He came, let the world praise His name...Praise his name
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there's something about that name...
His name is wonderful, His name is wonderful
His name is wonderful - Jesus my Lord
He is the mighty King, Master of everything
His name is wonderful, Jesus my Lord...

For without Jesus, there would no Christmas
