I Give Myself To You
Verse 1:
Lord at this Christmas time I come to you,
I need to talk to You today
I need to thank You that you came to Earth,
and that you came in such a humble way
You came to save a lost and lonely world,
no other reason for Your birth.
And yet so often, we forget You on this day,
Lord now there's just one thing I really need to sayRefrain 1:
I want to give You a special gift,
I know it's all I have to give
I want this Christmas to be different from the rest,
I know this present will affect the way I live
I want to give You a special gift
To say I love You by what I do
I want to offer back the life You've given
I want to give myself to You!
O Holy Night
Verse 1
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices!
O night divine! O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night! O night, O night divine!Verse 2
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
with glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
there came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger;
in all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, to our weakness is no stranger.
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King; before Him lowly bend!Verse 3
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,
let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! O praise His name forever!
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!
His pow'r and glory evermore proclaim!SOMEDAY THERE’LL BE PEACE

Verse 1:
O little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light;
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.Verse 2:
How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heav'n.

but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive Him still,
the dear Christ enters in.Verse 3:
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
descend to us, we pray;
cast out our sin and enter in;
be born in us today.

the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel!
