Christmas Time's A-Coming Lyrics

 


 

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
 

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!


It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!


When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm


The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

 

 

Peterbilt Sleigh
 

It was the 24th of December in a Pilot travel center
I heard someone say anyone around here work on sleighs
I was headin back home empty when this crazy idea hit me
I said Santa we can use my truck so Christmas won't be late
 

Now Santa's ridin' shotgun, Rudolph's in the middle
Had to get a lot done, visit every little boy and girl in this big ol' world
We were doin' 90 miles an hour when I hit my last gear
Then we shifted to the power of a red nosed reindeer
Eighteen wheels in the sky, air born overdrive
We gave three point one billion toys away
In a Peterbilt sleigh
 

He jumped out and down a chimney, then popped right back out a-grinnin'
Milk drippin' from his moustache and cookie crumbs in his beard
He'd do a little ho-ho-hoin' and say let's get this big rig rollin'
We'd blast off like a rocket while I was hangin' on for life so dear
Sorry Rudolph


Just when I thought we pulled the last toy out of that truck
Santa did a little dance, winked and grinned
And magically it filled back up

 

 

Here Comes Santa Claus
 

Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin', All is merry and bright
So hang your stockings and say your prayers, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight


Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys For boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle, what a beautiful sight
Jump in bed, and cover up your head, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight


Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor, he loves you just the same
Santa knows we're God's children that makes everything right
Fill your hearts with Christmas cheer, 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight


Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, Right down Santa Claus Lane
He'll come around when chimes ring out, It's Christmas morn again
Peace on earth will come to all, if we just follow the light
Let's give thanks to the Lord above 'cause Santa Claus comes tonight

 

 

Christmas Time's A-Coming



Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'
And I know I'm goin' home


Snow flake's a-fallin'
My old heart's a-callin'
Tall pine's a-hummin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'


Can't you hear them bells ringin', ringin'
Joy, joy hear them singin'
When it's snowin', I'll be gone
Back to my country home


White candle's burnin'
My old heart's a-yearnin'
For the folks at home when
Christmas Time's A-Comin'


Holly's in the window
Home's where the wind blows
I can't walk for runnin'
Christmas Time's A-Comin'

 

 

White Christmas

   

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 your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

 

 

All I Want For Christmas Is You

 

You've been window shoppin', Christmas time is near
You'd like to give me everything, I guess that's why I'm here
You don't have to worry, I think it's time you knew
All I want for Christmas is you


If you had a million dollars, you'd spend it all on me
But you don't have to spend a dime, to give me all I need
Let me wrap you up and take you home, that's all you have to do
All I want for Christmas is you


We won't break this silent night
Except with words of love
We'll only count the gifts that count
The treasures from above


Some would to build a fire, a simple Christmas tree
That all I'll ever ask for if you're there holding me
Let me wrap you up and take you home
That's all you have to do
All I want for Christmas is you

 

 

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
(originally appeared on Country Christmas Eve (1995)
this is a newly recorded version)

 

Oh, you better watch out, and you better not cry
And you better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town


He's making a list checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town


He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake


With a little tin horn and a little toy drum
A rooty toot toot and a rummy tum tum
Santa Claus is coming to town


The kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
Their gonna build a toy land
All around the Christmas tree

 

 

Getting Ready For A Baby

 

What kind of girl would take on the world
By claiming an angel had come
And what kind of man would still take her hand
Knowing he wasn't the one
And what kind of love, whatever it was, most people call it crazy
But it would take that kind of faith
Gettin' ready for a baby


What ugly words they must have heard
Whispered as neighbors went by
Did they defend the rumors of sin
Wonder if they even tried
Would I walk that road, I'll never know
The best I can say is maybe
Were they all by themselves, did they have any help
Gettin' ready for a baby


One silent night, He changed their lives
Like babies always do
But Mary and Joseph had no idea
How He would change mine to
They had the job of cradling God
As He entered this world to save me
All a part of the plan, so much more than
Gettin' ready for a baby


What kind of love, whatever it was
Someday I thank them for facing
All the heartache they knew
Everything they went through
Gettin' ready for a baby

 

 

Joy To The World

 

Joy to the World , the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing


Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy


He rules the earth with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love

And wonders, wonders, of His love

 

 

Mary, Did You Know?

 

Mary did you know your baby boy would one day walk on water
Mary did you know your baby boy would save our sons and daughters
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you


Mary did you know that your baby boy would give sight to a blind man
Mary did you know that your baby boy would calm the storm with his hand
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod
When your kiss your little baby, you kissed the face of God
Oh Mary did you know


The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb


Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation
Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations
Did you know that your baby boy is Heaven's perfect Lamb
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am

 

 

Mary Had A Little Lamb
 


Mary had a little lamb and His name was Jesus


Wrapped Him up in swaddling clothes laid Him in a manger


Alleluia
Angels blow your horns
Tonight in the city of David
Christ the Savior is born


Shepherds and the wise men came following a star


Alleluia
Peace and good will toward men
The Light Of the World is there sleeping
In the little town of Bethlehem

 

 

Glorious Impossible
 

See the Virgin is delivered
In a cold and crowded stall
Mirror of the Father's glory
Lies beside her in the straw


He is Mercy's incarnation
Marvel at this miracle
For the Virgin gently holds
The Glorious Impossible


Love has come to walk on water
Turn the water into wine
Touch the leper, bless the children
Love both human and divine


Praise the wisdom of the Father
Who has spoken through His Son
Speaking still, He calls us to
The Glorious Impossible


Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible
Glorious Impossible


He was bruised for our transgressions
And He bears eternal scars
He was raised for our salvation
And His righteousness is ours


Praise, oh praise Him, praise the glory
Of this lavish grace so full
Lift your souls now and receive
The
Glorious Impossible
