I know that it's over now the way we used to be the place we used to sing I know nothing is the same the highways that we drive are lit with different lights but I know you are here with me and nothing that is gone can steal away our song so sing with me once more sing with me once more we haven't lost slim Whitman on the record player dear and we have lost those Christmas mugs we use just once a year and we haven't lost the story of a baby who is king and we haven't lost our love this Christmas Eve I know that it's pouring rain and everything is wet and nothing's left unsaid and It's clear, I'm the one to blame the choices that I've made the selfishness I hate I know that we barely know the way that this will end the story that is left but I know you are here now I know you are here now

I have been singing loud for as long as i can remember as child walking to the tent of congregation congregation gathered round somewhere along the way I have lost the feeling but everyone laughed and sang to the tune of future revelation revelation some bright day when will this darkness lift when will you speak again when will the dawn break through when will I hear from you again 400 years to wait but I am still I'm waiting counting the countless days till I see the chosen generation the generation that will break the bitter silence the bitter silence o come messiah o come messiah.

Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand Ponder nothing earthly minded for with blessing in His hand Christ our God to earth descendeth our full homage to demand King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth He stood Lord of lords, in human vesture in the body and the blood He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way As the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day That the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away At His feet the six winged seraph, Cherubim with sleepless eye Veil their faces to the presence as with ceaseless voice they cry Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord Most High

Angels from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story Now proclaim Messiah’s birth. Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light: All creation, join in praising God, the Father, Spirit, Son, Evermore your voices raising To th’eternal Three in One.

Behold, the grace appears! The promise is fulfilled; Mary, the wondrous virgin, bears, And Jesus is the Child. The Lord, the highest God, Calls Him His only Son; He bids Him rule the lands abroad, And gives Him David’s throne. O’er Jacob shall He reign With a peculiar sway; The nations shall His grace obtain, His kingdom ne’er decay. To bring the glorious news A heav’nly form appears; He tells the shepherds of their joys, And banishes their fears. “Glory to God on high! And heav’nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At the Redeemer’s birth!” In worship so divine, Let saints employ their tongues; With the celestial hosts we join, And loud repeat their songs: “Glory to God on high! And heav’nly peace on earth; Goodwill to men, to angels joy, At our Redeemer’s birth!”

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la! 'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la! Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la! Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la la la la! See the blazing yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la! Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la! Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la! While I tell of Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la! Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la la la la! Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la la la la! Sing we joyous all together! Fa la la la la la la la! Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la la la la!

Peace Around 04:28
Evie go on, ring your bells There are bright sounds coming in swells Heaven is here and so far from here I can't hear the victory yell I'm telling myself that a joy is found in a kingdom other than mine I'm telling myself there is peace around for the 47,000th time Hey! Get your mind up Hey! Turn your eyes People come on, sing it loud For the soul coming up off the ground Oh.... The cover of the clouds sends the shadows scattering The puddles in the streets are beckoning our feet There isn't a script for the this the film hasn't been made yet But the distant December bells are calling us to rest

Loud Night 04:03
I'll know it when I feel it but I don't feel it now I'll know it when I see it but I can't make it out I'll know it when I feel it but I don't feel it now I'll know it when I see it but I can't make it out Right now I got distracted chasing lighting chasing lightning at night But now I'm chasing you further in the pre-dawn light I got distracted chasing lighting chasing lightning at night But now I'm chasing you further in the pre-dawn light

Silent Night 03:25
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin Mother and Child, holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, heavenly hosts sing Alleluia. Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born. Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light, Radiant beams from Thy holy face, with the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year. Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding; Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer We won't go until we get some; We won't go until we get some; We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas; We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
