Little Baby Child
Pretty little baby, lying in a manger
Staring at the strangers
Who've come so many miles
They were told to follow
The star up in the heavens
It brought them to the stable of the pretty little baby child
Could this be the kingdom
Of the High and Mighty
Is this the ruler born here tonight
Should we lay our treasures
Here by the cradle
Tell me are you the Savior pretty little baby child
Sometimes the greatest of miracles
Comes from the smallest of things
They knew as they knelt there beside him
They were looking in the eyes of a King
And that his tiny little fingers
Would bring us together
For ever and ever this pretty little baby child
Wonder of wonders there in the darkness
The light of the promise
How it shines in His eyes
The angels are singing
The Hallelujah Chorus
To the Savior before us pretty little baby child

Blue
Christmas
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
And I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear if you're not here with me
Then when the blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue memories are calling
You'll be doing all right
With your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

Manger Medley
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The Little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The Little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The first Noel the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Joy to the world the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and Nature sing
And Heaven and Nature sing
And Heaven and Heav'n and Nature sing
He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the Nation's prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders and wonders of His love
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous rings
Gloria, in Excelcus Deo
Gloria, in Excelcus Deo
In Excelcus Deo

Mrs. Santa Claus
Now everybody's heard of Mrs. Santa Claus
Everybody knows she's Santa's wife
Every Christmas Eve, she sits up all alone
And waits till he gets home again all right
He says don't you cry or worry Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years the reindeer know their way
You know-ho-ho I love you Mrs. Santa Claus
And I'll be home before it's Christmas day
Now all the elves that make the toys for Santa Claus
Spend their one night off the whole year long
Singin' songs and dancin' round the Christmas tree
Filling Mrs. Santa Claus with cheer
Singin' don't you cry or worry, Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years, the reindeer know their way
You know-ho-ho we love you, Mrs. Santa Claus
An' Santa will be home on Christmas day
Well if you ever think of Mrs. Santa Claus
Sitting by herself on Christmas Eve
Maybe you could write a special Christmas card
To help poor Mrs. Santa Claus believe
Sayin' don't you cry or worry Mrs. Santa Claus
After all these years the reindeer know their way
You know-ho-ho we love you Mrs. Santa Claus
Santa will be home on Christmas day

Daddy's Christmas Eve
Staring at the Christmas tree I guess I couldn't
sleep
The pretty lights hypnotize me and I begin to think
Seems like only yesterday that I was just a boy
Dreaming of a reindeer sleigh and Santa's bag of toys
A lot of years have slipped on by a lot of things have changed
But the magic of this special night somehow remains the same
I'm so thankful for my little ones oh how I love them so
I know God how you must have felt on that Christmas long ago
You must have cried a million tears on that first Christmas Eve
You knew your one and only Son would someday die for me
Staring out my window I can see the Christmas star
It seems a little brighter now than it had been before
Help me be the kind of dad that you would have me be
I guess I'll go on up to bed thank you Lord for Christmas Eve

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Yay it's Christmas
It's Christmas time
Merry Christmas
I want a bass boat
I want a new tractor
I want a new car
I want a lap top
I want a Harley
I want a Porche
Yeah, new boat, yes
We're on Liberty Records hey
You better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So you better be good for goodness sake
The kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
Their gonna build a toy land
All around the Christmas tree
With a little tin horn and a little toy drum
A rooty toot toot and a rummy tum tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

I'll Be Home For Christmas
I'm dreaming
tonight of the place that I love
Even more than I usually do
And all I know it's a long way back
But 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

Thank God For Kids
(originally appeared on Christmas,
this is a newly recorded version)
If it weren't for kids have you ever
thought
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus
Or look what the stork just brought
Thank God for kids
And we'd all live in a quiet house
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
And Kool-Aid on the couch
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The dearest thing to Heaven is a child
Daddy how does this thing fly
And a hundred other where's and whys
I really don't know but I try
Thank God for kids
When I look down in those trusting eyes
That look to me I realize
There's love that I can't buy
Thank God for kids
Thank God for kids there's magic for a while
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why
The nearest thing to Heaven is a child
When you get down on your knees tonight
Thank the Lord for His guiding light
And pray they'll turn out right
Thank God for kids
Ooooooh thank God for kids

O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Oh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The ever lasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in Thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wandering love
Oh morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on Earth
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
Oh come to us abide with us
Our Lord Emanuel

Jesus Is Born Today
(originally appeared on Christmas,
this is a newly recorded version)
Jesus
was born today, born in a manger
Though He was young they say, He was no stranger
He has set me free if I will believe
I'm so glad to see it is His birthday
Jesus was born today oh how we praise Him
Shepherds and wise men say they will adore Him
Mighty love has He just for you and for me
I'm so glad to say it is His birthday (Happy Birthday)
I am so glad He came into my life
Gave me life made it right
Now everything will be all right
'Cause
