In a land far away time stood still Long ago there were shepherds in fields Or at least this is how the story goes
The story goes woman with child And a man with no room Born in a manger for telling it too This is how the story goes But it is more than a fable And it's more than a fairytale And more than my mind can conceive
I believe the Wise man saw the baby born The angels called the son of God, Heaven's child, the great I am Born to take away my sins through nailed pierced hands Emmanuel has come
I believe two thousand years still the story lives on God's gift to us sent to earth wrapped in flesh His only son, His only son
And the heartbeat of heaven Confounded our wisdom But it's still the simple truth That sets me free
I believe the Wise man saw the baby born That the angels called the son of God, Heaven's child, the great I am Born to take away my sins through nailed pierced hands Emmanuel has come
And I believe precious child how can it be That God's great plan for His story Would send you to the lonely tree That you would come for one like me
I believe in a cross, I believe He came for one, he came for all Heavens child became a plan, gave his life for me In spite of all I am, I believe, I believe, oh I believe
Christmas lives in me I believe
Natalie Grant - I Believe Lyrics Artist: Natalie Grant Songwriters: Ervin Drake, Irvin Graham, Jimmy Shirl, Al Stillman
I have traveled Many moonless night Cold and Weary With a babe inside And I wonder What I've done Holy Father You have come Chosen me now To carry your son I am waiting in a silent prayer I am frightened by the load i bear In a world as cold as stone Must I walk this path alone Be with me now Be with me now
[chorus:]
Breath of Heaven Hold me together Be forever near me Breath of Heaven
Breath of Heaven Lighten my darkness Pour over me, your holyness For your holy Breath of Heaven
Do you wonder As you watch my face If a wiser one, should of had my place But I offer-all I am For the mercy-of your plan Help me be strong Help me be Help me..
Mary, did you know that your baby boy Will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know that your baby boy Will 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 Will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know that your baby boy Will calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know that your baby boy Has walked where angels tried? And when you kiss your little baby You have kissed the face of God
The blind will see, the deaf will hear And 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 Will 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'

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
Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible says Mary’s boy child, Jesus Christ, Was born on Christmas day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night, they saw a bright new shining star And heard a choir from heaven sing, the music came from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new King born today And man will live forever more, because of Christmas day Now Joseph and his wife Mary, came to Bethlehem that night They found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight
Hark, now hear the angels sing, a new King born today And man will live forever more, because of Christmas day Trumpets sound and angels sing, listen to what they say And man will live forever more, because of Christmas day
