Favourite Christmas carols

[Christ's Free Servant]

Mary Did You Know - written by Mark Lowry

Mary did you know that your baby boy would some day walk on water?

Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?

This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy would give sight to a blind man?

Mary did you know that your baby boy would calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?

And when your kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God.

Oh Mary did you know---

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again.

The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb---.

Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?

This sleeping child you're holding is the great--I--- AM---.

Thanks so much for those lyrics! I had this song going through my head for about a week straight, even in the middle of the night, but I did not know the words. The words are absolutely perfect!!!!!!!!!

One of my absolutely all-time favourite Christmas carols is 'Silent Night'

Oh, this is mine, too!!

me too!! Sue that is the most moving song...the words are so awesome when we look at what it is like for ourselves to give birth....how amazing it had to have been to give birth and raise up for our Father, His Son the Christ Jesus!! It makes me weep with wonder.

We sang Adeste Fideles/O Come All Ye Faithful in church the night before last. There was this super-challenging descant that turned out so beautifully: I don't think I've ever had so much fun singing it, and I've always liked the song, so that's saying something!

Also, O Come O Come Immanuel.

I love how it is in a minor key to create dissonance.

That song is SO beautiful!

If I keep this up, I'm just going to have to admit that I love almost all Christmas carols *grin*

Jackie,

I had my 3 granddaughters in the car with me today when that song came on the radio. I immediately turned up the volume so the kids and I could hear the words. Heather said, "That song is about Jesus." I said, "Yes, can you imagine what it would have been like to have God, as a baby, inside you?" Emilee responded that it was Jesus, not God, so we got into a discussion about the Trinity. It is interesting, because Lizzie, the youngest, asked me a similar question the other day, so I taught her about the Trinity, too. Lizzie learned that three of her fingers represent the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So, she looked at the fourth finger and said, "That is just a finger." We have such interesting discussions. Today they were asking about what heaven was like as though "Mommy" and I knew from personal experience. When we told them, Emilee said, "I could probably do really big flips up there," and Heather's response was "I can fall and not get hurt." It is fun talking with them about Jesus, and the songs on the radio are really good discsussion openers. And, who says kids don't really hear the lyrics to songs? They do! And, they pay attention to what they mean, too.

I like 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful and Silent Night' What can I say I'm old fashioned.. oh yes and Panis Angelicus by Il Divo.
