Three Songs About Christmas

Lately, I've been enjoying many lesser-known, wonderful songs about Christmas, so I thought I'd share some of them!

It's True by Sara Groves

In your heart you

know it's true

though you hold no expectation

in the deepest part of you

there's an open hesitation

but it's true

kingdoms and crowns

a God who came down to find you

it's true

Angels on high

sing through the night alleluia

heard it told you

think it's odd

the whole thing fraught with complication

the play begins with

baby God

and all His blessed implications

but it's true

kingdoms and crowns

a God who came down to find you

it's true

Angels on high

sing through the night alleluia

alleluia, alleluia

Oh it's true

kingdoms and crowns

a God who came down to find you

it's true

Angels on high

sing through the night alleluia

I Will Find a Way by Jason Gray

At the end of this run down tenement hall

Is the room of a girl I know

She cowers behind all the dead bolt locks

Afraid of the outside world 

So how should I come to the one I love?

I will find a way

Many thieves and collectors have used that door 

But they only brought her shame

So she won't even open it anymore

Still I will find a way

I could call out her name with love through the walls

But condemnation is all she hears

And I could bust down the door and take her into my arms

But she might die from the fear

So how should I come to the one I love?

I will find a way, I will find a way

How should I come to the one I love?

I will find a way

No hiding place ever kept her safe

So she hides inside herself

Now to reach her heart the only way

Is to hide in there as well

I will hide in there as well

She gave up on love waiting for a change

But a change is coming soon

'Cause how could she not love the helpless babe

Who is waking in her womb?

I found way, I found a way

She'll know I am coming before I am here

When she hangs her head she'll see me there

And then when I come she won't run away

All the beauty and joy will return to her face

And what of the loneliness? Now it is gone

Lost in the bond of a mother and son

Every sin that she suffered at the hands of men

Every single disgrace will be washed clean again

I will love her completely and when I am grown

I will carry her out of that tenement room

I am doing a new thing and soon you will see

I am coming among you and my name shall be

Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel

Here With Us by Joy Williams

It's still a mystery to me,

That the hands of God could be so small,

How tiny fingers reaching in the night,

Were the very hands that measured the sky,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Heaven's love reaching down to save the world,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Son of God, Servant King, Here with us,

You're here with us,

Still a mystery to me,

How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time,

How His ears have heard an angels' symphony,

But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Heaven's love reaching down to save the world,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Son of God, Servant King, Here with us,

You're here with us,

Jesus the Christ born in Bethlehem,

A baby born to save, to save the souls of man,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Heaven's offering sent down to save the world,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Son of God, Servant King, Here with us,

Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Heaven's offering sent down to save the world

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Son of God, Servant King, Here with us

You're here with us, You're here with us

You're here with us!
