Christmas is coming once again. I felt it was time to write a new song about Christmas. I thought it would be great to have a song that is a conversation between friends? The idea clicked and this song 'Tell me more about Christmas' was born!
I am sharing the lyrics here, it would be great if someone adds music to it and would like to use it. Feel free to visualise the four characters who are part of this song. Make a creative presentation that people can relate to well. All I would ask of those who use this song is to remember to give credit to me for the lyrics. You could share a link to the audio/video of your presentation with me on Twitter - @henrietweets
Here are the lyrics of the song.
Tell me
more about Christmas

Voice
1 (non believer's question):
I heard about that
silent night
I heard about the bright new star, the
mistletoe
The reindeer and Santa Claus
Oh won’t you tell me more about
Christmas…
Why do we celebrate this ‘so-called’
happy day?
Oh tell me, tell me – more about
Christmas
I want to know!

Oh!
Haven’t you heard the Christmas story?
How the angels sang on that blessed
night
Sharing the good news of God’s glory
To some shepherds on a hill faraway
They shared that the King of kings was
born tonight!
And they could go and see Him – He’s a
baby in the manger
So the shepherds rushed to see the
sight
And they found baby Jesus – with Mary
and Joseph!

I
have some more questions…
Why
would the King of kings be born in a manger?
And
why would shepherds rush to see a stranger?
Why
do you rejoice at Jesus’ birth
When
you know He later died on a cross?
Oh
tell me more about this mystery
Cause
when I think of it, I’m at a loss!
Tell
me tell me more about this mystery
For
when I think of it, I’m at a loss!

Oh!
That’s the reason that we all rejoice
You
see the King of kings He had a choice
He
could have chosen a palace but He chose an inn –
He
could have lived as a king and sat on a throne
but He gave it all up for me!
You
see He did these things to set us free
From
the sorrows that rob us of life!
He
could have stayed in heaven on the throne
But
He came as a babe just for you and me!

Hmmm…
Your Jesus seems to be a wonderful guy
And
you talk about Him as though you’ve really met Him!
I
hear you pray a lot in Jesus name
Could
you tell me more about Him?
The
truth is I’ve been searching all my life
For
the answers to some questions
You
seem so happy ever since you found this Jesus
I
really wish I could know Him too….

Wow!
Sure! Let me tell you first that Jesus loves you!
When
He left His throne – He was thinking of you!
He
chose to give up everything He had
So
you could find true peace and happiness too!
No
matter what you did wrong in life ]
He
was happy and willing to pay the price ] 2
To
set you free so you can enjoy ]
All
the best in this life and eternity! ]

Oh I’m so glad that we
celebrate Christmas!
Wouldn’t you love to receive the gift
of brand new life?
Oh how I thank Him for thinking about
us
When He left His throne became a human
for us!
So come let’s celebrate Christmas
For Lord Jesus became a baby for us
He lived His life on earth and then
He died
To wipe away the tears we’ve cried!
Together
So come let’s sing –
Joy to the King!
Glory to God in the highest
Angels & saints
Sing praises to God
For giving us Jesus
The most wonderful gift of all!!!
I’m so glad it’s Christmas
I wish you a Merry Christmas!
Come let’s celebrate Christmas
The happiest birthday of all!!
We’re so glad it’s Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
Come let’s celebrate Christmas
The happiest birthday of all!!
