Christmas Dream
Verse 1
There was a time
When we dreamt of a future
Where people would live
In a world without fear
Why can’t we take on
The message of Christmas
And make every day
Into one full of care
Chorus
Make Christmas time
Be the light which we live by
To reach all the places
Where shadows are cast
Let Christmas time
Shine its light on the whole year
And make pain and suffering
A thing of the past
Verse 2
Now at this time
We should try to remember
That Christmas is more
Than just tinsel and cakes
But if we embrace
The spirit of Christmas
We may just find out
That it’s all that it takes

Peace and Joy for Christmas Day
Verse 1
Long ago in Bethlehem
A little child was born
A little child who would one day be King
Although he never wore a crown
He still became a mighty King
Verse 2
Long ago in Bethlehem
A little child was born
Oh how he made his parents very proud
To them he was just baby Jesus
They never thought he'd stand out in a crowd
Chorus
Later on when he began to grow it became clear
He was such an extraordinary child
He would not go into battle with a sword in hand
Instead he talked and won the hearts of people
Verse 3
Now as we all celebrate our Christmas day in style
We should think back to the time when it began
A simple manger filled with straw a tiny baby boy
That's all there was on Christmas day
Verse 4
Long ago in Bethlehem a little child was born
A little child who would one day be King
A King who won the hearts of men and women
He brought us peace and joy for Christmas day

The Miracle
Verse 1
A miracle has been taking place
While all the world lies fast asleep
A little baby has come to us
While all the world lies fast asleep
Refrain 1
Wise men walking on dusty roads
Make haste to be there on time
Heavenly light shows them the way
Lest they be late for destiny
Verse 2
Two young parents on road at night
Heading for Innkeeper’s light
Mother on donkey and Dad on foot
Need bed for night their heads to put
Refrain 2
Edgy King sitting on his throne
Works on his dastardly plan
Paranoid with a soul defiled
Terrified of a tiny child
Verse 3
A miracle has been taking place
While all the world lies fast asleep
And it will be till eternity
Till all the words are made to keep
