Can’t Wait for Christmas
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas soon it will be here.
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas we’ve been good all year.
So sing from the rooftops, up and down the town,
we can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas now.
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas hurry hurry don’t delay,
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas it’s our favourite day.
So sing from the rooftops, up and down the town,
we can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas now.
Excitement is mounting, as everyone’s counting down the days,
As we make ready for Santa’s big night
Let’s deck the trees and string the lights,
paint the scene with familiar sights,
And have a happy holiday!
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas soon it will be here.
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas we’ve been good all year.
So sing from the rooftops, up and down the town,
we can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas, can’t wait,
can’t wait for Christmas!
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas hurry hurry don’t delay,
Can’t wait, can’t wait for Christmas it’s our favourite day.
So sing from the rooftops, up and down the town,
we can’t wait,
we can’t wait
we can’t wait for Christmas to come!
Go Light a Candle
(Solo)
There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning, some dark and cold
There is a Spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home
(All)
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world
Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See how your sister, she's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world
Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world
Take your candle, and go light your world.
Love Shone Down
I had a dream that I was standing on a hillside,
and all the lights of town were shining far below,
when up in the air, beautiful voices,
sing a new song, let everyone know.
CHORUS
Oh and love shone down over the hills and over the valleys,
oh and love shone down over the world.
Somebody spoke to me I knew it was an angel.
He said ‘There’s something that I think you ought to know,
Then he just smiled, said ‘don’t be afraid now,
sing a new song, let everyone know.
CHORUS
Oh and love shone down over the hills and over the valleys,
oh and love shone down over the world.
And then he told me all about the baby Jesus,
how to find Him where exactly I should go.
Then he was joined by millions of others,
sing a new song let everyone know.
CHORUS
X2
Well did I dream or was I really on a hillside,
on that Christmas night so very long ago?
When He was born, Jesus our Saviour.
Sing a new song, let everyone know.
CHORUS
….over the world…..
Hope of Heaven
Christingle Song
Light up a candle and hold out the globe,
Here in the darkness the light of the world.
The red in the ribbon for love that He showed,
And sweets as a sign of His goodness.
A life freely given, a love we can know,
The light of the world ever with us. (Repeat)
Hope of heaven, In our darkness,
You came to Earth bringing peace and life.
Hope of heaven, Full of kindness,
Come shine your light In this candle that I hold.
(Repeat all)
Light up a candle and hold out the globe,
Here in the darkness the light of the world.
