Is It Christmas Yet?
Words and Music by:
Joel LindseyVerse
There’s nothing slower than Christmas when you’re just a kid,
Wishin’ and hopin’, the way we all did
Peekin’ our eyes out from under the covers
Pretending we’re sleeping so we’re not discovered!(Chorus)
Is it Christmas yet? Has the snow started falling?
Has anyone here seen a sleigh in the sky?
Is it Christmas yet? Oh the minutes keep crawling
I’m losing my patience with Old Father Time!
“Cause we’ve decked the halls just as much as we can
Baked cookies for Santa, Cause Santa’s the Man!
I don’t know how much more suspence I can stand
Is it Christmas Yet (oh yeah) Is it Christmas Yet?Verse
I’ve been waiting for this day since back in July
September was brutal, I thought I would die
Finally December is right here upon us
The clock moves so slowly; almost like it taunts us(repeat Chorus – two times)

I Gotta Know Now - - Is it Christmas yet?
Hey, Guys, I’m ready to get home for Christmas
That’s right, Ernie, me too
I’m ready for some turkey and dressing
I’m ready for that apple pie
I’m ready for some snow!
Me too!Is it Christmas yet?

A Quartet Christmas
Words and Music by:
Marty Funderburk, Sue C SmithVerse:December 1st you'll find me,
Searching through my old "LPs",
For Christmas songs by Perry, Nat or Bing,
But since I'm still reliving my trip to NQC,
It would make my Christmas,
Just hearing four men singChorus:Let's have a quartet Christmas,
That sounds real good to me,
Let's have a quartet Christmas,
Carols in four-part harmony,
Now don't get me wrong I love hearing a choir,
But if the bass could go low,
And the tenor sing higher,
It would fill this heart of mine with cheer,
To have a quartet Christmas this yearI'd love it if this Christmas,
We would have an all-night sing,
And though it wouldn't be a silent night,
As every part would join in,
We'd make those rafters ring,
We'd celebrate like angels,
We heard on high(Repeat Chorus)
Tag:Now don't get me wrong,
I love hearing a choir,
But if the bass could go low,
And the tenor sing higher,
It would fill this heart of mine with cheer,
To have a quartet Christmas this year,
Let's have a quartet Christmas this year,
Let's have a quartet Christmas year,

Tonight
Words by Gloria Gaither / Music by Benjamin Gaither
Verse:
Kings and shepherds make their way
Straight to where a baby lay
Rich and poor and lonely
Bow before this sight
A light, a star has led them to this place
The Word that’s been echoing through space
Becomes a child tonightChorus:
Light to shine in the darkest night
Light to make all the wrong things right
Light to show everyone the way
Light to shine where a virgin lay
Star of David, the prophet’s star
Yahweh--God come to where we are
Star to mark the Messiah’s birth
Star of heaven now touches earth
TonightAngel voices fill the air
Angel wings are everywhere
Light so bright it’s blinding
Shepherds shake with fright
A song, a warmth begins to flood the hill
“Fear not! Peace to you--good will
Comes to earth tonight”(Repeat Chorus)
Light will be so bright
It will shine through the darkest night
Send down Your holy light(Repeat Chorus)

Come Make a Place In Me
Words & Music by:
Joel Lindsey
Sue C. SmithVerse:
There in the hay Mary laid you
And Joseph kept you warm
You’d just arrived
And with your first cry
You fit right into their arms
And just like you did in the stable
Come do it all again
There’s room for you
Lord you’re invited inChorus:
Come make a place
The shape of your love alone
Come make a place
Come make my heart your home
Jesus I’m empty without you
And you’re everything I need
So come with your grace
Come make a place in meVerse:
I wasn’t there at the manger
The night you came to earth
Angels appeared
But I didn’t hear
The song that announced your birth
But just like the shepherds came searching
And wisemen came to see
I come to you
Trusting you’ll come to me(Repeat Chorus)

Who Do You Think?
Words and Music by:
Harold Reid, Don ReidVerse:There are people,
Who are whispering,
And the rumors are running wild,
There's a woman,
Who's not married,
But she's gonna have a child,
Her name is Mary,
She's a virgin,
From down in Nazareth,
Now listen close,
She's gonna marry a man named Joseph,
But the baby's father is the Holy GhostChorus:Who do you think,
Could believe such a thing,
Could believe that this story is true,
Who do you think, could believe such a thing,
Well here's hopin' to Heaven you doVerse:Now they're saying,
She had a baby,
In a barn in Bethlehem,
And the star moved 'round the Heavens,
'Til is stopped right over them,
Them some shepherds said an angel,
Came and told them about His birth,
They always knew men went to Heaven,
But now God had come to earth(Repeat Chorus Twice)

The Night Heaven Kissed Earth
Words and Music by:
C Aaron Wilburn, Jerry SalleyVerse:
Heaven was silent as angels stood by, Anxiously waiting to hear His first cry,
His journey from glory to a Bethlehem stall,
Brought God down to man and gave hope to allChorus:
The night Heaven kissed earth,
God showed his love through a baby boy's birth,
His mercy echoed through the whole universe,
The night Heaven kissed earthVerse:
The stars all applauded as they gave their light,
All of creation rejoiced at the sight,
The promise once given all part of His plan,
God was now cradled in human hands(Repeat Chorus Twice)
