Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let Earth received her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heav'n and nature sing

By a one lane bridge on an old dirt road
That leads up to grandma's place
Someone cuttin' down the evergreen
They're gonna decorate

And miles away the bells are ringing on a street downtown
There're smiling faces everywhere and magic all around

You can hear the voices of rejoicing love rejoicing love
Singing joy to the world from up above
Bringing peace, good will to men
It's that special time again
You can hear the voices of rejoicing love

From Tennessee to Jerusalem families gather from far and wide
Here the smell of cookin' from Grandma's kitchen carries them all inside
And where cannons roar, they're silent for the crying of a child
And enemies or brother if only for a while

Later on in the silent night while the whole world's fast asleep
There's a feeling in the stillness by the light of the Christmas tree

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

Beautiful baby lying there beneath the shining star
Looking at your mama through those lovely eyes
Do you know who you are
Wrapped in a blanket on the hay
First Christmas day

Lowly shepherds and mighty kings
Have waited for your birth
Baby can you hear the angels sing
Peace and joy on earth
Promise of a better way
First Christmas day

Do You know Your Father's plan
Do You know the things You'll say
When You become a man
Do You know the price You'll pay

Beautiful Baby in the manger bed
Holding to Your mama's hand
The wondrous Love that sent You here
Help us understand
Remember when we pray
First Christmas day

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

We're looking for The King
The new Messiah
We're following the star
Shining brighter
Old man won't you help us if you can
He shook his head
But he pointed his hand

There's a new kid in town
And He's lying in a manger down the road
There's a new kid in town
But He's just another baby I suppose
Heaven knows
There's a new kid in town
Here in Bethlehem

I see you've traveled far
Bearing treasures
You say these gifts are for
The new King's pleasures
I've heard that a King might come
But up 'til now there hasn't been one

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Christmas was a present from God on high
A Child was born so that man wouldn't die
He gave His Son so that we might live
Jesus was the very first Christmas Gift

Wrapped in swaddling clothes He lay
Ribbon of light around His head they say
High in the Heavens a star was lit
For Jesus was the very first Christmas Gift

Shepherds as well as kings did come
To look down upon the Holy One
Angels rejoiced and the world was blessed
With Jesus the very first Christmas Gift

Since then we dread and shop and fret
And spend a fortune over it
Greed shows up in kids and grown ups
Worrying about what we're gonna get

When all it takes is a prayer of thanks
To God for the very first Christmas Gift

What Child is this who lay to rest
On Mary's breast is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch is keeping

To you this night a King is born He is the promised One
God so loved the world He sends down His only Son

Rich man poor man wise man be
He will deliver all from trouble and grief
Tidings of joy to the world
The King is born

No velvet or satin, no pillow for His head
Straw from the stable low, to make the Baby's bed
Angels come to shepherd in the hills and sing Emmanuel
Tidings of joy to the world
The King is born

The Son of Man, the Prince of Peace Savior to us all
A humble birth in Bethlehem, the greatest gift of all

And all the Earth will know His Name
And all the Earth will hear His Word
Tidings of joy to the world
The King is born

She'd give you the shirt right off of her back
And he could squeeze a penny 'til it hollered too
She couldn't hang on to nothin' she had
And he couldn't let go
No never wanted to

She was standing on the corner of Faith and Hope
When he came rushing by
Taking up coins for the Salvation Army
When the song she sang brought a tear to his eye

When you give it away
When you give it away
It all comes back tenfold they say
The more you give the more you shall receive
Oh when you give it away
When you give it away
Mouths are fed and souls are saved
Some things money can't buy 'til you give it away

On his way to work and on his way home
He paid more and more attention to the singer than the song
For every day she seemed to grow
Weaker 'til he found her shaking from the cold

So he grabbed her up and took her in
And wrapped her in his coat
For she had given hers to a stranger
And with anger in his voice
He told her what he thought

Girl when you give it away
When you give it away
It all comes back tenfold you say
But the more you give the more they seem to take
Oh when you give it away
When you give it away
A heart of gold is an easy prey
And you're left out in the cold when you give it away

As she looked into his eyes
She saw the love they held for her
And asked if it was not because I gave my all
You saw my worth

When you give it away
When you give it away
It all comes back tenfold they say
The more you give the more you shall receive
When you give it away
When you give it away
The Lord smiles down on a better place
Some things money can't buy 'til you give it away

Love is one thing money can't buy when you give it away

It's the time of year when good will appears
On the face of most everyone you meet
When Merry Christmas rolls right off your lips
And you make your way down a tinsel lined street

Little faces a-gazing at windows displaying
The things they wrote Santa and told him about
Last minute dashing 'tween buying and wrapping
The world is a carousel tumbling around

It's Christmas again in the city
Christmas in every small town
Christmas again in the country
Christmas all over the whole world around
A time to be thankful for living
A chance to be gentle and giving
So open your heart, be glad to be part of it all
It's Christmas again

There's a wreath on the door and the tree all adorned
With ornaments we've been collecting for years
The fire is blazing the kids are behavin'
'Cause Santa is coming and soon will be here

Dear Santa
Been a long time since ya heard from me
And I wanna speak for every daddy (that) feels the same as me
The times, they are a-changin'
Don't mean to put you down
But I spend every Christmas Eve lookin' for a part that can't be found

So Santa bring and elf or three
Toys ain't what they used to be
No ya gotta have a PHD in mechanical assembly
And I'll never be able to read instructions in Taiwanese
Since they don't make the toys themselves and I could use some help
Santa bring along your elves

How 'bout it, whoo
Shouldn't be so hard for a saint like you
Please Santa
They probably drive you crazy with nothin' to do
You never have to diet with all them mouths around
And I'd gladly feed an army
Instead of spending Christmas with my face in a frown

Yeah, and P.S. send the Boys' regards to Mrs. Claus
And don't you forget the batteries, thank you
Oh and if you could possibly arrange it
Please send me down some of them magical little dudes
That live in them tiny little bitty igloos
Up there in the middle of the North Pole
When they have nothin' else to do all year long
And help me put these toys together
PLEASE

Trimmin' the Christmas tree that's what I like about Christmas
Joy for you and me and everyone
I will hang my heart upon it yours will be there to
I've got all I ever wanted 'long as I have you
Trimmin' the Christmas tree that's what I like about Christmas

Playing like Santa Claus that's what I like about Christmas
Saving up all year long for you because
I love to see that little girl side you come to life
Every year gets harder but you love to be surprised
Playing like Santa Claus that's what I like about Christmas

Not to mention the mistletoe
That's what I like about Christmas
Yeah that's what I like
