'twas some nights before Christmas

'Twas some nights before Christmas and all through the house

There were children sleeping, as quiet as the mouse

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

In hopes that the glory of the Lord would be there

I sat there all quiet, so still in my bed

With ponders and memories so real in my head

With Neds in her pj’s and I in mine too

I think on the Lord, if I’d known what He knew

And deep in my heart there is joy, so much more

I want to praise Him and doubt Him no more

For God is so real, He showed that to me

Without him today, I don’t know where I’d be

He took me through dark spots, ones I’d never seen

And now He’s fulfilling my hearts greatest dreams

I praise Him this Christmas, like never before

For He’s held me and taught and oh, so much more

So in the season of busy and all that it brings

Take a few moments to let your heart sing

Praise the sweet Jesus and all that he brought

For without this day we’d have nothing, not lots

And his love has saved us, it’s our hearts he sought

I praise you Lord Jesus , for the things you have taught

I give you these days, I want only you

I give you my heart, please keep making me new

I praise you this Christmas and this New Year too

To keep changing my heart to look more like you

Thank you for coming so humble, so real

It’s with gladness and honor before you I kneel

I praise you Lord Jesus and ask you to be

So near and so real to my family and me!

We wish you Merry Christmas, Happy New Year too

I love you and thank you for all that you do!

May this Christmas be different as I reflect on the miracles in my own life!
