He wants to own your heart
He already owns your soul No matter what you do He's always in control And when he calls your name you have to follow Like moths into a flame, no fear or sorrow will fall upon you You belong to the King of Love He wants to know your thoughts He already knows your mind No matter where you are You're someone he'll always find His very mention brings the slightest shudder Deep inside you know there is no other as skilled and tender Just surrender to the King of Love But when the night falls down, he will not wear a crown No jewels upon his hands, he is just a man He wants to rule your world He already rules your dreams No matter what you want He'll never make you Queen Still when he calls your name you have to answer And when his music plays you are a dancer for him the only Never lonely, King of Love For him the only, never lonely, King of Love |

Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse sleigh hey Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh Over the fields we go laughing all the way(ha ha ha) Bells on bobtail ring making sprits bright What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight Oh Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Hey! Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh You know I hate the cold That's why I always go Down south to drink some rum On a island in the sun There's nothing like St. Barts With the palm trees swaying slow Or being there on Jost Van Dyke When the New Year comes and goes Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh hey Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh |

When the days of December are numbered,
And the earth begs it's snowflakes to fall . . . That's the time of the year that Christmas is here, With peace and goodwill for all . . . How I love that Christmas feelin' How I treasure it's friendly glow . . . See the way a stranger greets you, Just as though you'd met him Christmas's ago! Christmas helps you to remember, To do what other folks hold dear . . . What a blessed place the world would be, If we had the Christmas feelin' all year! |

Joseph was tired
They'd been traveling all day And it was almost midnight Before he found a place to stay He put the burrow in the stall Then knelt beside his wife To comfort her As she went through The pain of giving life And up above a star was shining brightly in the sky Joseph held the baby child And showed him to his wife And he said, “Merry Christmas, Mary Let me be the first to say, Merry Christmas, Mary The son of God has come to us today” There was someone at the door And Joseph turned to see Some plain and simple shepherd men Down on bended knee They talked about an angel Who told them where to come In the middle of the night to see God's only son Then later there came wisemen Bearing gifts and offerings And Joseph led them all to see And praise the new born king And they said, “Merry Christmas, Mary Let us be the first to say, Merry Christmas, Mary The son of God has come to us today” Tears of joy Were gently flowing Out of Joseph's eyes While up above the angels sang “Glory to God!” Merry Christmas, Mary Let us be the first to say, Merry Christmas, Mary The son of God has come to us today The son of God has come to us today |

One day near Christmas when I was just a child
Mama called us together and mama tried to smile She said you know the cottoncrop hasn't been too good this year There's just no spending money and well at least we're all here I hope you won't expect a lot of Christmas presents Just be thankful that there is plenty to eat That's quite a blessing that'll make things a little more pleasant And us kids got to thinking how really blessed we were At least we were all healthy and best of all we had her Roy cut down a pigapple tree and we drug it home Jack and me Daddy killed a squirrel and Louise made the bread Reba decorated the tree with popcorn strings before we went to bed Mama and daddy sacrificed cause this Christmas was lean But after all there was the babies Tom and Joanne babies need a few things I whittled a whistle for my brother Jack and though we fought now and then When I gave Jack that whistle he knew I thought the world of him Mama made the girl's dresses out of flower sacks And when she ironed them down you couldn't tell that they hadn't come from town A sharecropped family across the road didn't have it as good as us They didn't even have a light and it was way past dusk And mama said well I bet they don't even have coaloil or beans to boil A log apples cranges and such Me and Jack took a jar of coaloil nd some hickernuts we'd found We walked to the sharecropper's porch and set 'em down A poor old ragged lady eased open the door She picked up the coaloil and hickernuts and said I sure do thank ye and quickly closed the door We started back home me and Jack and about halfway we stopped looked back And in the sharecropper's window at last was a light So for one of the neighbors and for us it was a good Christmas night Christmas came and Christmas went Christmas that year was heaven sent Then daddy put on his gumboots waited for the thaw back home in Dyess Arkansas |
