Song History:
Merry Christmas
November 27, 2011
This song was born in a very unique way. My wife and children had spent most of the day decoration the house for Christmas and I had worked on putting the lights up outside. As the children gathered in the music room talking with a friend, i went to the piano and began thinking about the joy of just being with my children and how precious that is to me - even if they are growing up and leaving home. I cherish those times together - even if I say nothing...even if I just sit and enjoy their presence and laughter. It struck me that this was the reason Jesus was given in the first place - that we might be restored to and have fellowship with our heavenly Father! The entire song was born in a few minutes. Remember the real reason for the season and worship Christ the King and Redeemer!
Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which translated means, ‘God With Us’.
Matthew 1:23 NASB
Merry Christmas
Verse 1
Merry Christmas, Like snow falling down
The love of God is big enough to go all around
every human heart.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Like gifts 'neath the tree
The love of God is big enough to save and redeem
for any human heart.
Merry Christmas!
Chorus
There rose a star that led to a King
that laid down His life to save and redeem.
Who wanted us so much He showered us with love for Christmas!
There on the cross He shed His own blood
He paid our sin's cost! Much more than enough!
He rose up from the grave Redeemer come to save.
Merry Christmas!
Verse 2
Merry Christmas, like fireplace warm;
The grace of God is given so weather the storm
of every human heart!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, like family and friends;
The love of God surrounds us like a gift to no end
for any human heart.
Merry Christmas!
Chorus
There rose a star that led to a King
that laid down His life to save and redeem.
Who wanted us so much He showered us with love for Christmas!
There on the cross He shed His own blood
He paid our sin's cost! Much more than enough!
He rose up from the grave Redeemer come to save.
Merry Christmas!
Bridge
The greatest gift of all that baby born in that stable!
A manger where He first laid His head!
The greatest story told is neither fairy tale nor fable!
Our Savior rose again from the dead!
