RING THOSE BELLS
written by Dale Robert Boreland
It’s time to tell the story,
One love, born in glory,
That day, so many years ago.
Smiles on Christmas morning,
Star show’un the warning.
To celebrate the birth of our King.
How can we let them know?
How can we let it show?
Tower bells let everyone know.
Love removes the fear,
His gift is loud and clear,
In one voice, everyone cheer!
C’mon and ring those bells.
Wonderful, councilor, mighty God,
The Everlasting... Father and the prince of peace.
You’re the reason, for the season, let’s all hear it
Make a joyful noise and sing it loud.
C’mon and ring those bells.
C’mon and ring those bells.

Verse 1:

So You came down to save
Leaving heaven’s throne
Humbly bending low

Opened up His eyes
Where the Prince of Peace
wiggled His little feet

Simply Christmas [Lyrics] [Default Arrangement]
Verse 1
It's been a crazy year
So complicated, and so unclear
Wasn't sure how You would get me here But You did
Pre-Chorus
So tonight I disappear
Lost in the wonder of it all
Chorus
It's Jesus in a manger
And the glow of candlelight
A few small gifts underneath the tree And carolers singing, "Silent Night" The snow is gently falling
And the night's not in a rush
I'm taking time to treasure
It's simply Christmas
Verse 2
Another thousand times
God, You came through
And calmed my anxious mind
Kept on pulling me across the line Like You do
Pre-Chorus
So tonight I bow my head
Grateful for the wonder of it all
Chorus 2
For Jesus in a manger
And the glow of candlelight
A few small gifts underneath the tree And carolers singing, "Silent Night" The snow is gently falling
And the night's not in a rush
I'm taking time to treasure
It's simply Christmas
Bridge
Simply love, simply joy, simply peace Is all I really need
Simply love, simply joy, simply peace Is all You are to me
Chorus 3
Jesus in a manger
And the glow of candlelight
A few small gifts underneath the tree And carolers singing, "Silent Night"
The snow is gently falling
There's a holy kind of hush
So take some time to treasure
It's simply Christmas
Simply Christmas
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright

Family Christmas Gift
(Lyrics written by Mat Gauthier,
June 2021)
(Verse 1)
Christmas a child spoke of a real nice guy
That brought me cool things
But as the years went by
I knew something changed inside
Inside of me
Don't get me wrong I still like getting stuff But all that was nowhere near enough
Than the sound of your voice when you called That was this year's greatest gift of all
(Verse 2)
Christmas as a dad made me get out of bed
There was no sleeping in
Happy little boys waiting for games and toys Can't wait to begin
All of those memories and the joys we shared Came flooding in when I saw you there
Smiling in my doorway - you didn't call
Surprising me with the greatest gift of all
Verse 3)
Christmas as a granddad - it really gets loud in here In our little place
I watch the family grow but some I'm not sure I know Another new face
Don't get me wrong there always will be room Let the family grow we'll make more room
There's a thousand pairs of shoes in the hall (oh yeah) Making this your greatest gift of all
Merry Christmas to my family - I love you all

GLORIA
Christ Is Born
1
What a quiet hush
In the air that night
For the earth stood still
Before the coming of the Light
In a manger low
In a bed of hay
Lay a tiny child who’d come
To show the world the Way
CHORUS
Gloria! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
2
Mary smiled with joy,
Joseph said a prayer
Wisemen from the East
Did what they had to, to be there.
Angels shared the news
Shepherds stared in awe
And a star shone brightly
Over everything they saw
CHORUS
What happened there that night
In stillness and in power
Was God’s love In the flesh
Bringing redemption for this hour
3
Praise the Lord of Heav’n
For this holy birth
Prophecies fulfilled
Christ came down to earth
For this lowly child
Is a mighty King
Let his name BE raised on high
Let every voice now sing…
CHORUS

I REMEMBER BY R. D FEX August 2021
I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER
WAS IT SCENTED EVERGREEN, OR THE MANGER SCENE, SALVATION ARMY RINGING CHILDREN’S DREAMS - OR FALLING NEW WHITE VIRGIN SNOW
OR WAS IT THE LIGHTS SO BRIGHT, CUTTING THROUGH THE NIGHT – DAZZLING EVERYONE WITH SUCH DELIGHT - MESMERIZING ALL AGLOW
SURE THE GIFTS WERE THERE, THEY CAME FROM EVERYWHERE, MY LIPS ARE SEALED I SWEAR – IN TANTALIZING BIG RED BOWS
BUT AT WARPED SPEED, IT CAME OVER ME, NOT PERCEIVING IT WOULD BE EVERYTHING THAT I NEED – I JUST DID NOT KNOW
I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER , IN DECEMBER, I REMEMBER
THAT DAY IN DECEMBER, MY HEART FULL OF SPLENDOR
AS YOU WERE FRONT AND CENTRE, MY SWEET BURNING EMBER
I WAS NO PRETENDER, AS I ASKED YOU TO ENTER
I KNEW IT WAS FOREVER, I WILL REGRET IT NEVER
CAUSE AT WARPED SPEED, IT CAME OVER ME, NOT PERCEIVING YOU WOULD BE EVERYTHING I NEED – GLORY TO THE SAVIOR!
I REMEMBER….YES I REMEMBER
AND I LIVE FOR YOU ….AND I WOULD DIE FOR YOU TOO
I REMEMBER….OH I REMEMBER…IN DECEMBER…I STILL REMEMBER ……………..

I’ll Sing
Music and Lyrics by Rhonda Janzen (Rhonda Louise)
Copyright July 31, 2021
So finally here you are
In my arms
Alone in the dark
Under the star
Opening your eyes
You travel through time
To pierce mine
Here in the night
Beneath the brightest star
I’ll sing to You Your birthday song
And as tired as I am
I’ll Sing
For my baby
My Lord, my King
Who are You, what will You do
To see us through
With Your gifts and power to
Be our Savior
Beneath the brightest star
I’ll sing to You Your birthday song
And as tired as I am
I’ll Sing
I’ll Sing
I’ll Sing
I’ll Sing
Beneath the brightest star
I’ll sing to You Your birthday song
And as tired as I am
I’ll Sing
For my Jesus
My Lord, my King

Deepest Devotion
Sally Campbell © 2013-11-11
Why does it matter
That so many years ago
A baby made passage
Into this world of woe
Why remember
When so many other things
Distract me from coming
And offering
My deepest devotion
And it’s no small thing
My time and my heart I give
Your wonders I will sing
All that I am is yours
This vessel I bring
To the stable in Bethlehem
To the manger of my King
A moment in hist’ry
Transcending every age
A chance at redemption
The turning of the page
On the past and its failures
To the dawning of this day
So much that you’ve given me
How can I repay?
The story of the ages
Still rings true today
The gift freely offered
Could be thrown away
Will I throw it away?
Peace and contentment
Would surely comfort me
Knowing I’m loved beyond
Expressions I receive
You are light and I know
This one thing is true
You’ve given me everything
I belong to you

“Christmas Joy”
Well let’s get together
Enjoying the weather
As snow flakes fall on our face
The fires burning bright
As we put up the lights
A season to embrace
Everyone is gathered around
The Christmas tree
Every boy and girl
The seasons happy sounds
Smiles all around
Joy all over the world,
As we sit here watching the snow
My gift to you is not wrapped up with a bow
It’s time to decorate
And celebrate
The ultimate gift of love
Everyone is gathered around
The Christmas tree
Every boy and girl
The seasons happy sounds
Smiles all around
Joy all over the world
Everyone is gathered around
The Christmas tree
Every boy and girl
The seasons happy sounds
Smiles all around
Joy all over the world
Everyone is gathered around
The Christmas tree
Every boy and girl
The seasons happy sounds
Smiles all around
I’m singing joy all over the world
I’m singing joy all over the world
I’m singing joy all over the world
Yeah
