I like this one too, but the 3rd one is my favorite and I expect it'll sound best on that link. Thanks big time, Geoff, for sharing these with the site!

Peace,

Mike

    Yeah well the former Music Director at our church now Missionaries in Romania said this one was probably good for any time not just Christmas. This was the newest and inspired one morning at 5am and I had to dive out of bed real quick to get the words down. I do hope you get to listen to h=it and the others.

    Brother, the music indeed made each song even more glorious! I thought that He Came would sound best, put to music. I instead favor "Tired."

    Thanks so much for sharing that!!

    Oh, and which bible version do you advise and why -- if you don't mind my asking:-)

Excellent carol devoted to exhorting people to put Christ back into Christmas! Our church is doing a special ' Passover ' feast this year on April 20, I'm looking forward to it! The Anglicans celebrate Maundey Thursday, witch is probably the time of the crucifixion. I'm looking forward to it! Thank you for honouring our Lord like you do, Geoff, you must love Him very much! Well written! Blessings, Roy

Have you got any room for Him?

    AMEN friend thanks for stepping up to the plate again. I am glad it is He who accepts us as we are. He dowant us to clean up first He wants to make us over anew. As I said in the Profile someone said this Carol was good for any time of year and I agree. This was written on a lightning flash inspiration at 5am one morning when I dived out of bed really needing to get it down on paper! Ok off soap box, God Bless.

No ho-ho-ho's or jingle bells
No stockings hung or presents sent
no mistletoe or silver bells
just a reminder of what Jesus meant.
You've captured the thing we tend to forget;
though Christmas time is lots of fun
God sent his son, promise met.
there is a reason for the season:
He to whom we knell and pray
was born upon this sacred day.

Nice write.
(You might want to go back in and edit the spacing around the Chorus: lines :-)

This would be a wonderful Christmas Carol and it really should be put to music. Thank you for sharing a heartfelt faith in the form of song. It is good to remember what this season is really all about.

    Hi friend I think I included the Midi file did you not hear it? It is a carol I wrote and composed the music for as well.
reply by emjaihammond on 10-Dec-2013
    No, I don't think I did. There is a box that says background music on top though. I have a terrible problem with short term memory, (not kidding) So, what I read yesterday, I might not remember the music if it was there. Today, looking back at it I didn't hear anything. Maybe I missed something.

    Hi friend. If we are right with Him and have accepted what He did on Calvary Once and for all, 2000 yrs ago, then we can all go to live forever in Glroy with Him. Thanks for the review. Did you listen to the music?
