Topic: Close Your Eyes This Christmas
Well, tomorrow is December and Christmas is rapidly approaching.
Seems that so many are so busy planning parties, buying presents, traveling or whatever.... that the true reason for the season is lost.
I wrote this to remind us.
Close Your Eyes This Christmas By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
[A] Close your eyes and [A] send your mind afar,
[A] back to a manger under [E] Bethlehem’s star,
[E] Feel the night grow still as [E] angels voices sing
[E] Shepherds wait to seethe [A]newborn king
.
Chorus
oh,
[D] the heavens rang when our Lord came that night
[A] the love of God descended ’neath a guiding light,
[D] The hope of the world in a baby so holy and mild
[E] Love and mercy found in [D] Mary’s sweet [A] child
.
Verse 2
.
[A] Close your eyes and [A] fill your world with peace,
[A]feel Him bring joy [E]in the life that you lead,
[E]Through every trial, [E]His love lights the way,
[E]The one who came to save us[A] is here to stay
.
Chorus
oh,
[D] the heavens rang when our Lord came that night
[A] the love of God descended ’neath a guiding light,
[D] The hope of the world in a baby so holy and mild
[E] Love and mercy found in [D] Mary’s sweet [A] child
.
OUTGO
[D] Close your eyes and let Christ light your way,
[A] Listen close for His whisper when you kneel to pray,
[D]and this Christmas, lift your heart in joyful praise,
[E] For you know that His love is [D] here to [A] stay
Play SLOW
[E] I know that His love is [D] here to [A] stay,
[E] I know that His love is [D] here to [A] stay.
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
