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 Earth , good will to men from Heaven's all-gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay to hear the angels sing

Yet with the woes of sin and strife the world has suffered long
Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled two thousand years of wrong
And man at war with man hears not the tidings which they bring
O hush the noise ye men of strife and hear the angels sing

For lo, the days are hastening on by prophets seen of old
When with the ever circling years shall come the time foretold
When peace shall over all the Earth it's ancient splendors fling
And the whole world give back the song which now the angles sing
O hear the angels sing

My name is Mary, Jesus was my son
I carried Him with a special care
Cause He was my first one
Wanted Him to be strong and healthy
Have a family of His own
Things a mother want for her child
But in my heart I've always known

That He'd go with His Father
When the glass ran out of sand
So please have patience with me Lord
I'm just a mother trying to understand
Why He sad to carry that weight
With no one else's help
Why He had to be the One
They could not be themselves

He was so many things to so many people
My Son, My Son
Teacher, Prophet, Messiah, King
My Son, My Son

I tried to stop Him
You know I begged Him, "Please don't go"
He put His arms around me
And said, "Mother I love you so"
Nothing left now but silence
And A weight that I can't bear
Please tell Him that I miss Him
Someday I'll see Him there

I felt the nails deep in my hands
And pain in every breath
They took my Son away from me
And the angels said that I'd been blessed

Among the bills that I received was a postcard marked "Apology,
the Christmas gifts you ordered aren't in stock."
So I packed up the kids for Grandpa's house
Then a blizzard blew in and the car broke down
So, we shared a quart of eggnog at a truck stop

And I said, "Kids, this is unfortunate.
You think it's bad? Well it's inconvenient."

But the most inconvenient Christmas ever was
Was the first one, when God came so far to give himself to us
So when the stress hits each December
How it helps me to remember
God is with us most when things just can't get worse
The most inconvenient Christmas ever was, was the first


By the time we got to Grandpa's house
His Christmas lights had burned it down
So we had to take him home to live with us
But he couldn't stand to leave the farm
So now there's cattle in our yard
Sheep on the rug, pigs in the tub, and a rooster at dawn

And I said, "Now honey, this is unfortunate.
You think this is bad, well it's inconvenient."

A young girl expects a child she can't explain
Forced to walk a hundred miles just to give birth in the hay
While the king in that same hour
Fearing challenge to his power
Sent his troops to track him down and wipe them out
Yep, hands down...

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

I stopped to see the great fir tree that stood within the square
I watched it's sparkling lights shine through the cold and snowy air
Then some movement caught my eye below it's branches green
I wondered what could be there beneath the Christmas tree

Then I saw a little boy with tangled, golden curls
And blue eyes dancing full of life
Though life had been so cruel
He said, "Tonight's the night Santa comes
I hope he comes to me
And sees me just as you did beneath the Christmas tree
 

Silent night, oh holy night
How clearly, Lord, I see
But for Thy Grace it could be me
There beneath the Christmas tree
 

Somewhere bells were ringing as I slipped off my coat
Wrapped it 'round his shoulders and held his body close
On the night that Christ was born there's no way I could leave
This cold and hungry orphan boy beneath the Christmas tree
 

Silent night, oh holy night
I took him home with me
But for Thy Grace, it could be me
There beneath the Christmas tree
 

Just a simple Christmas song
To wish you all a happy one
May all your love sent far and near
Come back to you this coming year
May all the troubles in your life
Turn into joy this Christmas night
And every star you wished upon
Be shining bright when morning comes
 

Merry Christmas

I hope this finds you home and safe
Settled in your favorite place
Around the tree a glow is cast
Lighting thoughts of Christmas past
Now you may say a silent prayer
For those you love who can't be there
Then say out loud so you'll be heard
Joy and peace to all the world
 

Merry Christmas
