Lyrics

JOYOUS DAY What is joy? We have found joy! What is joy? Hosanna we have joy! Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy! Hosanna to our God! We will go down (We have) to a world below; (found joy!) where we will learn (He will) by faith and grow. (save us!) Who was chosen? Our Father chose Jehovah!Who was chosen? Our Father chose Jehovah!Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy! Hosanna to our God! Jehovah will fulfill the plan. (He is the plan.) so we may return and live again. (He will save us!) What a joyous day this is! What a joyous day this is! What a joyous day this is! What a joyous day this is! Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy! Hosanna to our God! Our King forever more! Hosanna to our God!

HANDMAID OF THE LORD I was resting in quiet reverence when an angel of the Lord came to me, and what he told me made my heart tremble. How could the God of All have chosen me? He chose me! Behold, the handmaid of the Lord. Be it unto me according to thy word. Though I wanted to keep Him secret, I could not hide the miracle, so dear. My promised husband in sadness questioned until the angel told him, "Do not fear!" No more fear! Gentle Joseph took me and traveled to Bethlehem because of a decree. Though I was weary through this trial, the little town fulfilled prophecy, through me. Behold, the handmaid of the Lord. Be it unto me according to thy word. Then it happened! Oh, what wonder! The Son of God was born! Hmm... As I rested in quiet reverence, I looked upon the child I adored. I loved and cherished the newborn baby, but in my heart I knew he was much more. He is more. He is the Savior of the world. I am lowly, He is my Lord.

I HAVE JOY You like to dance and learn everything new. You work so hard others notice you. So remember, wherever you go, when you were born, I had joy, I had joy and my heart danced for you. I had joy, My love for you is so strong too. I had joy, and what else can I do. I danced, I had joy! Your baby skin was so soft to my touch, and your hair was fuzzy, fluffy stuff.

GLORIOUS SON When I think of the Lord; When I think of the sorrows He bore, sometimes I feel I should cry. Then I remember and my soul says, "why?"

He descended below all things; it's true. He felt my sadness and my trials too, but now, all His pain is gone. He is triumphant! He is the Glorious Son! As I worship the Lord, as I study and ponder His words, sometimes tears come to my eyes. I feel His love as the Spirit testifies. He descended below all things, it's true. He felt my sadness and my trials too, but now all His pain is gone. His love has conquered! He is the Glorious Son! We can be joyful! He is the Glorious Son!

MY LOVE, I LOVE YOU! My love, I love you and you love me! Who knew, so long ago, we'd come to be? This adventure is thrilling, and fulfilling, and wonderful, and you are willing to take me anywhere you go. We've been on mountains. We've been on seas. My love, I need you and you need me! My love, I love you and you love me! I plan to be with you through eternity. This adventure is thrilling, and fulfilling, and wonderful, and you are willing to take me anywhere you go. We've been on mountains. We've been on seas. My love, I need you and you need me! My love, I love you and you love me! Oo, oo, oh, oh, oh .

NOT DONE

LOVE CAME DOWN When Love came down, to a little town, He brought the world light, to dispel the dark night, and at this time of year, His true story is clear, and when snowflakes fall, I can feel it all; the feeling of Christmas! Hear the children's song, ... alleluia singing all night long, ... alleluia singing hymns of praise, ...Praises we sing for in long ago days, ... to the one who is King. the angels did sing ...Ding, dong, of a newborn King. ...ding, dong, ding. He was in a stall. ... Alleluia I can feel it all; ... Alleluia the feeling of Christmas! ...Ah. Jesus came to earth .... Alleluia 'Twas a humble birth, ...

Alleluia I can feel it all. ... Alleluia The feeling of Christmas. ...Ah.

CHAINS I can't move up. I'm stuck, I'm going nowhere. I want to move up. I wonder if He'll hear my prayer. These chains I keep, keep holding me down. A strange thing, no comfort. I keep them though they keep me bound. Oo... If I let them go would I find comfort or pain? I want to let go. I want to feel His love again. These chains I keep, keep holding me down. A strange thing, no comfort, I keep them though they keep me bound. Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Oo... I turn to the Lord. I feel His loving arms. Though this is hard, I know He will help me be strong. Each chain I give, He takes willingly. He gives me comfort and now I know how to be free. Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! He gives me comfort and now I know how to be free. Halleluia! Halleluia! Halleluia! Now I know how to be free!

LOVE ISN'T SOMETHING Love isn't something you can hold in your hand, but holding a hand may help it expand. Love isn't something you can grow from the ground, but giving flowers may help it be found. Love is kind. Love is true. Love is warm. I love you! Love is something for you. Love is something. Love isn't something you can put on a shelf, but you can still feel it when your all by yourself. Love isn't something you can pull from the sky, but when you feel it, you feel you can fly.

Love is kind. Love is true. Love is warm. I love you! Love is kind. Love is true. Love is warm. I love you!

THIS CHILD This infant child, how can He be the Savior of us all? How can we depend on Him, this one who is so small?

This infant child, when will he know the sacrifice to pay to free us all from our tears, His love's the only way?

His hands will be pierced! A cruel crown will press on His head! He will drink the bitter cup, then He will live again.

This infant child, in my arms, for now will sleep so still, but when he's grown, a perfect lamb, He'll do His father's will.

His hands will be pierced! A cruel crown will press on His head! He will drink the bitter cup, then He will live again!

His hands have power. ... (His hands have power!) Eternal's the crown on His head. ... (He wears a crown.) He'll fulfill all righteousness, ...(He loves me,) then He'll live again. ...(and I will live again.) He'll live again! (He'll live again!)

MY LITTLE GIRL Once, you were my little girl, and you would run to me with your tears and smiles, and with my arms around you; love would surround you, but in the here and now, it's very different, but not so different. For you can find me in the background, where love will always be found for you.

Today you are a lovely bride, and you will run to him with your tears and smiles, and with his arms around you, love will surround you, as you go on through life. Will you be happy? I hope you're happy! You were my little girl.

HE LOVES ME How can I explain something I try to understand? His power is much greater than any mortal man, and yet he loves me. He loves me!

He created heaven. He created earth. He built worlds without number, then had the most unexplainable, humble, lowly, glorious, beautiful birth; on His earth.

He came down from His glorious place. He came to save me with His grace. Because he love me.

He created heaven. . He created earth. He built worlds without number, then had the most unexplainable, humble, lowly, glorious, beautiful birth; on His earth, because He loves me. Yes, He loves me! It's a wonder how He loves Me!

I WILL WAIT

I put my hand where you would be; wishing you were there. Tears fall upon my pillow, but I will not despair! I know you love me every day; wherever you are, but my love, it's so hard to wait, to have you not so far. I put my hand where you would be, feeling empty space; remembering your kisses, and shadow on your face. I know you are where you must be, and so we are alone, and I will touch this place of yours each night 'til you come home. I put my hand where you would be, wanting you close. I will wait for you, the one that I love most. I put my hand where you would be; hoping sleep will come, for I can find you in my dreams; My love, my only one. And I will wait; My love!

SNOWFLAKES I was resting in quiet reverence when an angel of the Lord came to me, and what he told me made my heart tremble. How could the God of All have chosen me? He chose me! Behold, the handmaid of the Lord. Be it unto me according to thy word. Though I wanted to keep Him secret, I could not hide the miracle, so dear

REACHING He reaches down, when I reach. My Lord always lifts. He is there, I'll leave the darkness and follow. Do I understand the power of His plan? Do I need to feel anguish and sorrow?

So pure and true, His light I see. I hear His words, come follow me.

He reaches down, when I reach. I feel His great love. He is near, I'll leave the darkness and follow. I won't turn Him away. I will pray and I'll heed as my faith in my Savior grows stronger.

So pure and true, His light I see. I hear His words, come follow me.

He reaches down, when I reach. My Lord always lifts, and my faith, in my Savior, grows stronger.

QUIET CHRISTMAS It's a quiet Christmas in my peaceful home, but will someone remember I am here all alone? In my eyes it starts raining as I watch the falling snow. How did I come to be so lonely, and doesn't anybody know?

All I want is a friend I can give some love to. All I want is a friend to help me to feel happy too.

It's a quiet Christmas, and joy is what I feel. For the Spirit of Christmas has brought love that is real. In their eyes the Sun's shining as they come in from the cold. I am so thankful for their caring, and I am glad to let them know:

All I want is a friend I can give some love to. All I want is a friend to help me to feel happy too.

It's a quiet Christmas, a sacred, silent night. In this one humble evening I have felt the Son's light. In my eyes He is reigning, glorious, on His heavenly throne, and with the love he's given I no longer feel alone.

All I want is a friend I can give some love to. All I want is a friend to help me to feel happy too.

HANDS THAT HEAL Jesus gave a miracle to me: From the roof I came in. He forgave my sin. He said, 'Arise and take up thy bed.", and I walked away just as He said.

He stands on a world of His hands. His hands that heal; His love is real, and though I cannot comprehend...it all, I want to be with Him again.

JESUS TIME Mary lived in Jesus' time, and she was chosen to have Gabriel visit her, with humbling, awesome news. Highly favored among women. To the Lord, her time was given.

Joseph lived in Jesus' time and he was chosen to have Mary rest in hay. The inn, it had no room, and that night Christ was born. Joseph kept Him save and warm.

Shepherds live in Jesus time and they were chosen to tell the world of Jesus birth. The prophecies were true. Angel choirs sang to them and said to go to Bethlehem.

Wise men lived in Jesus' time and they were chosen to find the star to testify, our Lord would make us new. Thoughtful gifts they gave Him were: Frankincense and gold and myrrh.

Do we live in Jesus' time? Could we be chosen to witness Christ who'll come again and reign in glory too. Alleluia! Praise to Him! Peace on earth good will to men!

A LAMB IN A STABLE There's a Lamb in a stable, like nothing I've seen. There's a Lamb in a stable, and He is my King!

In Bethlehem the inns were too full of people who had traveled; not one empty stool. So where was a place among these, where a baby could be born in peace.

There's a Lamb in a stable, like nothing I've seen. There's a Lamb in a stable, and He is my King!

It may seem an unusual choice, but they were away from the crowds and the noise. So while in a stable, forlorn, the Lamb of God was born.

There's a lamb in a stable, like nothing I've seen. There's a Lamb in a stable, and He is my King!

Now we know the truth of that night. Though we may have trials, things will turn out right, so always remember the Lamb, and love Him the best you can. There's a Lamb in a stable, like nothing I've seen.

There's a Lamb in a stable, and He is my King! There's a Lamb in a stable, like nothing I've seen. There's a lamb in a stable, and He is my King!

SWEET SAVIOR I ponder all the anguish of the most beloved one. Why would our sweet Savior, for me want to come. I know He must love me, for why else would He die for a sinner. Die for me.

I wonder at the people who would take one so pure, and laugh in His face, then scourge Him some more. I know He must love them, for why would he say, "Father, forgive them." He is the way.

I know He must love me, for why else would He die for a sinner, die for me. (Sing in a round.)

Die for me.

DROPS A drop of oil to anoint and bless, according to my faith, reminds me of drops, from pores, were shed in a garden place. So too drops of tears He cried, for bearing so much sorrow. Each drop of oil reminds me of a new and bright tomorrow.

A drop of oil will help to make my bread. If I will hear the prophet's voice, I know I will be fed. So too drops of tears I cry, because I have some sorrow. Each drop of oil reminds me of a new and bright tomorrow.

A drop of oil, for good works done, will make my lamp burn brightly; so when the Bridegroom comes an I have hope to be ready, and when drops of tears I cry, for joys I could not borrow. Each drop of oil reminds me of a new and bright tomorrow.

THIS CHILD This infant child, how can He be the Savior of us all? How can we depend on Him, this one who is so small.

This infant child, when will He know the sacrifice to pay, to free us all from our tears? His love's the only way.

His hands will be pierced! A cruel crown will press on His head! He will drink the bitter cup, then He will live again!

This infant child, in my arms, for now will sleep so still, but when He's grown, the perfect lamb, He'll do His Father's will.

His hands have power! ...His hands have power! Eternal's the crown on His head! ... He wears a crown! He'll fulfill all righteousness, ...He loves me, then He'll live again! ...and I will live again! He'll live again! (both)

ANGELS Little Child, no one on earth knows how you cried for relief, how a rescue was needed. You've done no wrong, and you are so pure, but for a time you must endure.

So the angels come down, and wrap their warm arms around you, and heaven weeps, because you are loved, as you wait for your moment of rescue. Oo...

CHRISTMAS QUILT There's a Christmas quilt in my mind. A patchwork of memories stitched through time, and it warms my soul each time I find a Christmas quilt in my mind a Christmas quilt in my mind.

Remember, the patches so warm, when Daddy would read how the Christ child was born, and we'd listen, and each heart would feel his love through the story he'd tell.

There's a Christmas quilt in my mind. A patchwork of memories stitched through time, and it warms my soul each time I find a Christmas quilt in my mind; a Christmas quilt in my mind.

So take my heart, ...It is a gift, and take my hand. ...a wondrous gift. The gift I give to you ...a touch of heaven above. is love, my friend. ...the gift of love, love, love.

JESUS IS LIGHT I gaze upon the light that changes in my room with the sunshine in the morning to evenings shaded gloom.

The light in the morning, glows whiter than the rest while still and silent shadows attract and keep my interest.

The light and the shadows are different parts of me. In some things I am bright. In other's how I long to be. Oo...

If someday my room should glow with brightness, nothing dim, no lines nor forms nor shadows, my Lord would be therein.

So let your light shine to testify, Jesus is Light!

TWINKLE BRIGHTEST STAR Twinkle brightest star, who shone in the sky. Why is it you came with your wondrous light?

This one star, it did have glory. This one star, it showed the way to our Savior, who is holy. Shout, "hosanna" to His name!
