01. Get Into The Spirit

When I look around me
And see what's going on
I think about the time we had
And where we all came from

Here comes the dream that's been waiting
The triumph we seek is so close it's so near
I love the chance we've been taking
The moment for us is right here

Get into the spirit
Reach up to the sky
Get into the spirit
Raise your spirit
Raise your spirit high

Together on this journey
We saw each other through
Side-by-side we realized
There's nothing we can't do

The miracle of life is full of mystery
It touches us with grace to man before
The miracle of life is now our sanctuary
Oh the promise of our dream is what will come

Together we'll make magic
And conquer all our fear
The bond we have is sacred
And lives year after year

Here comes the dream that's been waiting
The triumph we seek is so close it's so near
I love the chance we've been taking
The moment for us is right here

Get into the spirit
Reach up to the sky
Get into the spirit
Raise your spirit
Raise your spirit high

02. We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain
Following yonder star

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a king on Bethlehem plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship Him, God most high

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying
Sealed in a stone cold tomb

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Glorious now, behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Heaven sings Alleluia
Alleluia, the earth replies

Oh, oh, star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

03. Oh Come O Come Emanuel

Oh come, oh come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice!
The Son of God! Rejoice!
Oh Come thou wisdom from on high
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
In one the hearts of all mankind
And death's dark shadows put to flight

Rejoice! Oh, rejoice!
The Son of God! Rejoice!
Rejoice! Oh, rejoice!
Oh, come, oh, come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God He will appear

Rejoice! Oh, rejoice! Emmanuel! Rejoice!
Rejoice! Oh, rejoice!
The Son is here! Rejoice!
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

04. Winter Song

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea

My voice, a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told

They say we're buried far
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms

I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way

I'll be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms

This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea

My love a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

05. What Child Is This

What child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While the good shepherds watch are keeping

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh
Come peasant, king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary

Oh raise, oh raise the song on high
His mother sings her lullaby
Oh joy, oh joy for Christ is born
The babe, the son of Mary

What child is this?
What child is this?
What child is this?

This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring Him laud
The babe, the son of Mary, of Mary, of Mary

06. Christmas For Everyone

When the children sing
And the snow starts falling
When the sleigh bells ring
Saying Santa's calling

There's an open fire
And a tree that's glistening
It's the middle of the night
As we all lay listening

When Christmas comes for everyone
It brings us all together
For just one day there's peace in the world
We wish would last forever

Then we all wake up
And the kids go crazy!
Let the good times roll
Tough we all feel lazy

There's a brand new day
And we're full of cheer
Gonna rock all night
Like we did last year

When Christmas comes for everyone
It brings us all together
For just one day there's peace in the world
We wish would last forever

07. I Don't Care If It's Christmas Night

Christmas time is coming here
And I'm running late
I had a little too much fun
And I can't see straight

Couldn't find my ticket
And I missed my train
Got back on the telephone
Tried to catch a plane

If I don't make it
We're headed for a fight
Get me back home
Before Christmas night. Oh yeah...

Come on baby don't be mad
I know the way you feel
Stuck out on the motorway
And the weather's unreal

My ride's gone and broke down
On the interstate
Jogging to the truck stop
Gonna hitch a way

If I don't make it
We're headed for a fight
Get me back home
Before Christmas night. Oh yeah...

Christmas time is finally here
As I walk up the stairs
I open up the bedroom door
And my baby ain't there!

Went to see my neighbor
Tell me: Where did she go?
He said she waited 'round all night for you
I think she left with Joe!

I'm headed for the pub
I'm getting in a fight
I don't care if it's
Christmas night. Oh yeah...

08. Light Of The World

Light of the world, there's a place You live
Here in my heart, I know
Light of the world, all my dreams are made true
By the love You show

I can say with honestly, that You set me free
From the day that we met
Light delight is a distant star, put me from afar
I can't ever forget

Light of the world, I'm in home, I'm glad
Safe from the pain I know
Light of the world
All of my life I've grown

When I think all the special thing
There's so much to say
I don't know where begin

But I guess that You understand

Light of the world, it's so easy now
You stand by me, I know
Light of the world, all I have to do
Here, what's to say, let's go! Go!

You're my Light of the world
Light of the world

09. Oh Holy Night

Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till He appeared and the spirit felt His worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder beams a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees!
Oh, hear the angel voices!
Oh, night divine!
The night when Christ was born!
Oh, night, oh holy night, oh night divine

Truly he taught us
To love one another
His law is love and
His gospel is peace
Chains shall he break
For the slave is our brother
And in his name
All oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in
Grateful chorus raise we
In our hearts
We praise his holy name

Christ is the Lord
Then already we praise Him
His power and glory evermore proclaim
His power and glory evermore proclaim
Oh night, oh holy night, night divine
Oh night, oh holy night, oh night divine

10. Come All Ye Faithful

Oh, come all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
Oh, come ye
Oh, come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him
Born the King of angels

Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord

Sing choirs of angels
Sing in exultation
Sing all that hear in heaven
God's holy word

Give to the Father
Glory in the highest

Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him
Christ, Christ the Lord
