Thankful Christmas
Words & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com


v1
We're in that time of year
when presents make their rounds again
And sometimes out of obligation
more than being friends

And you know the way I feel
when folks buy more than just a few
So what I'm giving you
is not 'cos someone told me to

ch
And I'm thinking this Christmas
about all the gifts God's given
We have a roof above our heads
And an eternal home in Heaven
But above all other gifts
I am most grateful for two
And that's the Father gave us Jesus
And Jesus gave me you

v2
These plain old walls
became a house we're blessed to own
And by giving it your touch
you've made this house a home
And you know I love the way
you take what's old and make it new
But what I really love the most
is just you being you

Away In A Manger - Our Great Savior

Away In A Manger: James Murray, John Thomas McFarland
Our Great Savior: Rowland Pritchard, John Wilbur Chapman

Bridge: Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com



v1
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

v2
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love you, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh

br
To obscurity's manger from glory well known
From an undeserved cross to a well deserved throne
Through His own chosen death this King reaches His goal
That those dead in their sin would know life and be whole!

Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, what a Friend
Saving, helping, keeping, loving
He is with me to the end!

v3
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in your tender care
And fit us for Heaven to live with you there

Fit us for Heaven to live with you there

Joy To The World

George Frederick Handel, Isaac Watts

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

v2
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

So let all to Him attend
And their sin to Him confess
For His Kingdom will not end
Nor will His justice and His righteousness

No more let sin and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found

v4
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And the wonders of His love
And the wonders of His love
And the wonders, wonders of His love
And the wonders, wonders of His love
