AMY GRANT Home For Christmas Lyrics
1.Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Lyrics:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane
Music:Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Let your heart be light.
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
Make the Yuletide gay.
From now on our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us will be near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together if the fates allow.
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough and have yourself a
merry little Christmas now


2.It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Lyrics:Edward Pola/George Wyle
Music:Edward Pola/George Wyle

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids jinglebelling.
And everyone telling you
Be of good cheer.
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the hap-happiest season of all.
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings.
When friends come to call
It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting.
Marshmallows for toasting
And carolling out in the snow.
There'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing.
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
There'll be much mistletoe-ing
And hearts will be glowing.
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time.
It's the most wonderful time.
It's the most wonderful time of the year

4.Breath of Heaven(Mary's Song)

Lyrics:Chris Eaton/Amy Grant
Music:Chris Eaton/Amy Grant

I have traveled many moonless nights.
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done.
Holy Father you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

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 holiness.
For you are holy.
Breath of heaven

Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place.
But I offer all I am.
For the mercy of your plan.
Help me be strong.
Help me be.
Help me

Repeat Chorus Twice


5.O'Come All Ye Faithful

Music:John Francis Wade

O' come all ye faithful.
Joyful and triumphant.
O' come ye, O' come ye To Bethlehem.
Come and behold him Born the King of Angels.
O' come let us adore him.
O' come let us adore him.
O' come let us adore him.
Christ The Lord

Yea, Lord we greet thee.
Born this happy morning.
Oh Jesus to thee be all glory given.
Word of the Father.
Now in flesh appearing.
O' come let us adore him.
O' come let us adore him.
O' come let us adore him.
Christ The Lord

O' come let us adore him, Christ The Lord


6.Grown-up Christmas List

Written:David Foster/Linda Thompson Jenner

Do you remember me.
I sat upon your knee.
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well I'm all grown-up now
And still need help somehow.
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish.
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need

Chorus:

No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts.
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up Christmas list

As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree

Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul

Chorus

Bridge:

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth.
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

Chorus


7.Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

Lyrics:Johnny Marks
Music:Johnny Marks
Arranger:Jerry Mcpherson

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop.
Mistletoe hung where you can see.
Every couple tries to stop

Rockin' around the Christmas tree.
Let the Christmas spirit ring.
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Voices singing
'Let's be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly'

Rockin' around the Christmas tree.
Have a happy holiday.
Everyone dancing merrily In the new old fashioned way

Rockin' around the Christmas tree.
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some carolling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Voices singing
'Let's be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly'

Rockin' around the Christmas tree.
Have a happy holiday.
Everyone dancing merrily
In the new old fashioned way


8.Winter Wonderland

Written:Felix Bernard/Dick Smith
Arranger:Shane Keister

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird.
Here to stay is a new bird.
He sings a love song
As we go along walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown.
He'll say 'Are you married?'
We'll say 'No man' but you can do the job when you're in town

Later on, we'll conspire As we dream by the fire.
To face unafraid, the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening.
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter.
Walking in a winter.
Walking in a winter wonderland


9.I'll be Home for Christmas

Lyrics:Kim Gannon/Buck Ram
Music:Walter Kent

I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do And although I know.
It's a long road back.
I promise you...

I'll be home for Christmas.
You can count on me.
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas.
If only in my dreams

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams.
I'll be home for Christmas.
If only in my dreams


10.The Night Before Christmas

Lyrics:Carly Simon
Music:Carly Simon

Children carry through the streets
A brightly painted star.
Angels gather round the hearth
Strumming on guitars.
Men of great renown and faith
Say prayers on boulevards.
It's the night before Christmas

But you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony.
You don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee.
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me

The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

If your heart's been longing.
You've been afraid to try.
Sorrow's kept you company
And the dance has passed you by.
I'll lift you up and blaze with you
Across the moonlit sky
On the night before Christmas

Cause you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony.
You don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee.
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me

The night before Christmas.
The night before Christmas...


11.Emmanuel, God with Us

Written:Amy Grant/Chris Eaton/Robert Marshall

We dim the light.
We stoke the fire.
We breathe the ever-green.
Young ones wait
While the old ones make up tales
Of how it used to be

China dolls, candy corn.
Painted wooden toys.
Treasures found to the wondrous sound
Of carolling the savior
Born to us on Christmas morn

Chorus:

Emmanuel, God with us Emmanuel.
Emmanuel, God with us
The son of Israel

And still he calls through the night
Beyond the days of old.
A voice of peace to the weary ones
Who struggle with the human soul

All of us travelers
Through a gvien time
Who can know what tomorrow holds
But over the horizon
Surely you and I will find

Chorus

And the years they come
And the years they go
Through we may forget somehow
That the child once born in Bethlehem is still among us now

Chorus
