When Love Came Down
Lyrics
1. The Brightest Light
Silent, unwilling, I bend to my task
Servant to none, ever proud
Look up and follow is all that you ask
Fearful, I lift up my eyes
And the brightest light you ever saw
The greatest gift, the loudest call
A son, a son is born to us all
Glory and praise to His name
There in your presence I fall on my knees
“Choose someone else,” I reply
“There must be others more worthy than I”
But still you beckon me
And the brightest light you ever saw
The greatest gift, the loudest call
A son, a son is born to us all
Glory and praise to His name
Many are wealthy and many are strong
Why such a gift just for me?
This child—a baby, our savior, your son
Has come to bring us peace
And the brightest light you ever saw
The greatest gift, the loudest call
A son, a son is born to us all
Glory and praise to His name
3. Furry Christmas
I remember Christmas Day when I was just a kid
Mom and Dad did something that I never will forget
Curled up underneath our tree I found a new friend for me
This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs
And all our furry friends
When they can be in your family
Then Christmas never ends
I made myself a promise if I had kids of my own
Dogs and cats and furry things would always have a home
Underneath our Christmas tree in a happy family
This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs
And all our furry friends
When they can be in your family
Then Christmas never ends
Now I wake up Christmas morning, a cat lays on my head
I try to roll over but there are two dogs on my bed
I wonder if they’ll ever know about that Christmas long ago
This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs
And all our furry friends
When they can be in your family
Then Christmas never ends
Merry Christmas to
Cleo and Pikalo
Zulu and Maverick and Domino
Sammy and Mark and Cammie so rare
And Normandy who was fine and fair
Friday and Oakley and Tanner untamed,
Cali and Darkrow and fishes unnamed,
To Bonnie and Ginger and Lady too
This furry Christmas song’s for you
This Christmas song’s for the cats and dogs
And all our furry friends
When they can be in your family
Then Christmas never ends
Christmas never ends, Christmas never ends
5. When Will Christmas Come?
I was sitting in a classroom
The clock was turning backward
I didn’t hear a word the teacher said
It’s my favorite time of year
My mind is far away from here
I forgot the words that I just read
Outside the snow was falling—I heard vacation calling
I raised my hand and asked the only question in my head
When will Christmas come?
When will Christmas come?
Now I’m sitting in an office
Trying to get some work done
But everybody needs some of my time
Don’t they know what day it is
Why don’t they see how late it is
I nod my head pretend that all is fine
Outside the snow is falling—I hear vacation calling
And now I’m shouting out the only thing that’s on my mind
When will Christmas come?
When will Christmas come?
Because I can’t wait
I can’t take it any longer
Now I’m wishing I was with you
‘Cause all I do is miss you
But you are half a continent away
I’m staring at the calendar
I'm just waiting for the page to turn
‘Til you are coming home for Christmas day
Outside the snow is falling—I hear vacation calling
You know what I am thinking and there’s just one thing to say
When will Christmas come?
When will Christmas come?
When will Christmas come?
2. My Christmas Love
There’s a feeling we get once a year
Peaceful, quiet, and calm when we hear
That God’s own love came down
Why does this beautiful time never last
The wind blows and all of a sudden it’s past
and the world keeps spinning ‘round
But no, not for me
The song won’t stop
The story never ends
With my Christmas love
Every day’s a holiday
The world slips away
while every night I celebrate
My Christmas love
I know this year was tougher than most
I pray to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
For your health and happiness
Next year adventures are beckoning us
Together we travel in wonder and trust . . .
that we are truly blessed
I’ll fall to my knees
Sing Gloria
The story never ends
With my Christmas love
Every day’s a holiday
The world slips away
while every night I celebrate
My Christmas love
And so the snow starts to fall once again
Seasons mark all the places we’ve been
And everywhere we’ll go
It’s Christmas time
When love came down
The story starts again
You’re my Christmas love
And every day’s a holiday
The world slips away
while every night I celebrate
My Christmas love
Together Christmas, forever Christmas love
4. Home Again (Hallelujah)
A winter night, snow on the sidewalk
It’s Christmas time, silently wishing and dreaming (hallelujah)
And there’s a light, a light in the window
Come inside where everyone’s waiting and it calls you (hallelujah)
And peace will make you whole again
You find yourself at home again
The wind is cold, swirling around you
But you don’t move ‘cause everything’s perfect—can you feel it (hallelujah)
And something new has happened to you
Far beyond any words that you knew so you sing it (hallelujah)
And peace will make you whole again
You find yourself at home again
And the days fly so fast
They race into the past
Tonight—tonight you’re home at last
And peace will make you whole again
You find yourself at home again
6. Lonely Christmas Day
If only I could turn back time and try it all again
I would say what I meant to say
Forget about what happened yesterday
And dream that now you were here somehow
Don’t you know it’s Christmas and you’re so far away
And all I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day
I don’t ask much—just a word or touch to tell me you’re still there
I’m feeling low and it scares me so
If I don’t hear from you I’ll never know
If you will be here with me
Don’t you know it’s Christmas and you’re so far away
And all I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day
Christmas comes just once each year
We shouldn’t be alone
I shed a tear for each falling flake of snow
The bells have rung, your stocking’s hung, the star is on the tree
The night’s so clear, but will you appear?
It won’t be Christmas until you are near
Say you’ll be here with me
Don’t you know it’s Christmas and you’re so far away
And all I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day
All I see beneath my tree is a lonely Christmas day
7. Little Angel
It’s time for bed little angel
It’s been a wonderful day
We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do
Won’t you dream of us too?
Little angel
Tomorrow we’ll go to the zoo
See zebras and lions and elephants too
When we come home
We’ll make a zoo of our own
Where the animals all play with you
The animals all play with you
It’s time for bed little angel
It’s been a wonderful day
We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do
Won’t you dream of us too?
Little angel
Tomorrow we’ll go ‘round the world
Curled up together with books in your room
We’ll climb a tall tree
We'll sail on the sea
Then we'll fly from the sun to the moon
We’ll fly from the sun to the moon
It’s time for bed little angel
It’s been a wonderful day
We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do
Won’t you dream of us too?
Little angel
We’ll have so many tomorrows
We’re going to spend them together with you
While you learn and play
And grow every day
We’ll make all your wishes come true
We’ll make all your wishes come true
It’s time for bed little angel
It’s been a wonderful day
We’ll dream of you and all the things that we’ll do
Won’t you dream of us too?
Little angel
Good night, sleep tight little angel
