Topic: Christmas song
I wrote this trying to meld together the Christian and Santa Claus Ideas regarding Christmas, and that it is fine to have both.
“Star in the Snow [Christmas Is Here]” By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
[Em]When the night falls [A]quiet,
And the [Em]world turns [A] slow,
There’s a [Em] light in the [A] distance,
[B7] like a [C7] star in the [B7] snow.
[Em]Little ones [A] whisper,
“Is [Em]Santa on his [A] way?”
While a [G] manger keeps [A]shining
With a [B7] love that [Em] stays.

Verse 2
[Em]sleigh bells are [A] ringing
all[Em] through the [A] night,
and [Em] Bethlehem’s [A]star is
still [B7] burn[C7]ing [B7]bright
[Em] Candy canes, [A]stockings,
and [Em] dreams under the [A]tree
but the [G] child in the [A]stable
gives us [B7] the gift that we [Em] need.
________________________________________
[B7]Yeah, Christmas is here… where [A] magic and mercy draw [Em] near.
Verse 3
[Em] Now Santa brings[A] laughter,
and the [Em] joy that kids [A]know,
But the [Em] Christ child [A] brings
peace to [B7] our [C7] weary [B7] souls.
[Em] One night, yet two [A] stories,
both are [Em] filled with [A] joy
Both [G] bring love and [A] promise
to [B7] the girls and [Em] boys

Verse 4
[Em]So hang your bright [A] lights,
and let [Em] your heart be[A]lieve,
find [Em] joy in your [A] soul
from the [B7] grace [C7]we re[B7]ceive.
[Em]Look for Santa’s [A] reindeer
Up on [Em] top of the [A] roof
but [G]hear the Angels [A]singing
that’s the[B7] Savior’s [Em] proof

Bridge
[Em]Some hearts feel the [A] coldest
when the [Em] season’s [A] bright,
without [Em] love or [A] laughter
through the [B7] silent[Em] night.
[Em]But the Child in the [A] manger
knows your [Em] sorrow, [A] too—
And His [G] love feels the [A] warmest
when the [B7] night feels so [Em] blue
[B7]Yeah, Christmas is here… where [A] magic and mercy draw [Em] near.
[B7] And Christmas is forever, [A]year after [Em] year.
The price of anything, is the amount of life you exchange for it. - H.D. Thoreau
Your vision is not limited by what your eye can see, but what your mind can imagine.
Make your life count, and the world will be a better place because you tried.
"Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except only the the best." - Henry Van Dyke
