Come and gather around at the table
In the spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'til the season comes 'round again

Let's all try to smile for the picture
And we'll hold it as long as we can
May it carry us through

Twinkling lights
A chill is in the air
And carols everywhere
Close your eyes, it's almost here
Candles and cards
And favorite movie scenes
The smell of evergreen
As special as it's always been

Looking out
To the hills, to the setting sun,
I feel a cold wind
Bound to come;
Another change,
Another end I cannot see,
But your faithfulness to me

Mary's in a nursing home
She puts her favorite records on
Reminds her of the years long gone
Another Merry Christmas
Billy's home from overseas
The pride of his whole family
Still fights a war that no one sees
Another Merry Christmas

I see her as a little girl
Hiding in her room
She take another bath
And she spray her mama's perfume
To try to wipe away
The scent he left behind
But it haunts her mind

God loves a lullaby
In a mothers tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
God loves a drunkards cry,
The soldiers plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.

We pour out our miseries

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

When I think of all of the things He's doin' for me
It makes me stand in wonder at what He's making me to be
Tryin' to walk through straight but getting turned around
Always makin' my Master take a backseat and wait around

But I praise the Lord for giving me
A brand new start each day
And I praise His blessed name

I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary, with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father, you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting in a silent prayer

Lay down your burden, I will carry you
I will carry you, my child
Lay down your burden, I will carry you
I will carry you, my child, my child

If I can walk on water
And calm a restless sea
I've done a thousand things you've never done

Every life, every beating heart
Has a searching soul inside
Ever needing, ever seeking out
The meaning to life

I refuse to believe
That we're only here to live and die
In the futile days of a faithless haze

Little bits of heaven
Floating gently by the window
Soon this dirty city will be
Covered with a new snow
Let's put on our winter boots
Go outside and play
Christmas can't be very far away

The presents are wrapped they're under the tree
It's Christmas for you and me
The shopping is done and the cooking is through
It's Christmas for me and you

Because tomorrow morning they'll be oh
A room of happy children and shouts of glee
But since they're all dreamin' of what Santa will bring

Praise to God whose love was shown
Who sent his Son to earth
Jesus left his rightful throne
Became a man by birth

The virgin's baby son
All creation praised Him
God incarnate come

Are you far away from home, this dark and lonely night?
Tell me what best would help to ease your mind
Someone to give direction for this unfamiliar road
Or one who says, "Follow me and I will lead you home"?

How beautiful, how precious the Savior of all
To love so completely, the loneliest soul
How gently, how tenderly He says to one and all

Another Monday comes and I just wanna breathe
Cause it's a long,
long week for someone wired to please
I keep taking my aim, pushing it higher
Wanna shine bright, even brighter now
Wish I would tell myself

Don't try so hard

Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Wonderful, counselor
Lord of life, lord of all
He's the prince of peace, mighty god, holy one
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Wonderful, counselor
Lord of life, lord of all

We dim the light
We stoke the fire
We breathe the evergreen
Young ones wait
While the old ones make up
Tales of how it used to be
China dolls
Candy corn

I was wasting time
Oh so sure to find somebody
Who'll never go
How could I know
None I'd found was true
None could be but you
The only one love divine
My heart, my mind are yours

Songwriters: Amy Grant; Keith Thomas

Well, I'd like to figure out where we stand
Before darkness falls
And I'd like to figure out
Before too late
Before hope is lost
Cause the sun that's shining on my face

At times the woman deep inside me
Wanders far from home,
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone.
A heart, running for arms out of reach,
But who is the stranger my longing seeks?
I don't know.
But it scares me through and through,

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,
She's got her father's eyes,
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that find the good in things,
When good is not around;

You know some days I like me, some days I don't
Some days I try with passion, sometimes I won't.
I might just hold my guard up, and lock my heart up tight
But it's the door that's open letting in the light
There's a battle raging inside of me
It's a holy struggle, and it won't let go of me

No, no, no

You tell me your friends are distant
You tell my your man's untrue
You tell me that you've been walked on
And how you feel abused

So you stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
I hear you saying you want to see changes

In the year of 1492
When Columbus sailed the ocean blue
Had he landed on India's shore
You might never have come to knock on my door
Who needs a rhyme or a reason?
Some dreams, we're made to find
So I know that I must follow
Ask me just how much I love you

You like to dance and listen to the music
I like to sing with the band
You like your hands splashing in the ocean
But I like my feet on the sand
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?
When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes

Grown-up christmas list
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee;
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies.

Well, I?m all grown-up now,
And still need help somehow.(can you still help somehow)

The sun comes up
The breakfast show
Can't you see me running?
It's crazy, don't you know?
(Don't you know? Don't you know?)
The moon is high
I'm working through the night
Will somebody tell me

Up in the attic,
Down on my knees.
Lifetimes of boxes,
Timeless to me.

Letters and photographs,
Yellowed with years,
Some bringing laughter,

[Chorus:]
Everybody needs a helping hand
Take a look at your fellow man
And tell me what can I do today
'Cause everybody needs a helping out
If that ain't what it's all about

Tell me what

I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light

OST Speechless

Well, I bet you any amount of money
He'll be coming back to you
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love

We said our promises by candlelight
You held my hands, I was dressed in white
We were young
How can we see that far?
How can we see that far?
I knew I wanted you like no one else
I told my momma that I'd found myself
In your eyes

I've made the same mistake before
Too many malls, too many stores
December traffic, Christmas rush
It breaks me till I push and shove

Children are crying while mothers are trying
To photograph Santa and sleigh
The shopping and buying and standing forever in line

When every moment gets too hard
End of the road can feel so far
No matter how much time we're apart
I'm always near you

I'll be the shelter in your rain
Help you find your smile again
I'll make you laugh at a broken heart

I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in the crowd and smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you

Look in my eyes while you're near

Got a ticket coming home,
Wish the officer had known
What a day today has been.
Then I stumbled through the door,
Dropping junk mail on the floor.
When will this day end?

But then your letter caught my eye,

I can't relive my life
I can't retrace my tracks
I can't undo what's done
There is no going back

I chased a selfish dream
Did not survey the cost
Illusions disappeared

Why do lovers drift apart
How does love fade away
When do pieces of a broken heart mend again
Youve been crying in the dark
And youve been feeling alone
Dont be scared of what youll find
When you turn the light on

In the morning when I wake and my feet can find the floor
I stumble down the hall and I open up the door
Then I look into the mirror just like you know you do
Stopping for a moment

I can feel my mind go through the boundaries of time
Back to a heart without his love inside
I was more than just alone, I was dying on my own

This is one of those moments
When all that really matters
Is crystal clear
We are woven together
By whatever threads of life that have
Brought Us Here
We are stripped of all layers
We are getting to the core

They say love is cruel, they say love is rather fragile
But I've found in You a love of another kind
They say love brings hurt I say love brings healing
Understanding first it's a love of another kind

The love I know is a love so few discover
They need to know Jesus' love is like no other

You're the kind
When you love you love with all your might and
You're the kind
I would dream about at night
Now I'm the lucky one
Baby I'm the lucky one
You're the kind
That I want to be with in the dark and

I remember many times when I was just a child,
How I played in that old house upon the farm.
With rocking chairs and squeaky stairs, all pieces of her world,
And a fire in her room to keep us warm.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud

Mister Santa
Bring me some toys
Bring Merry Christmas
To all girls and boys
And every night
I'll go to sleep singing
And dream about
The presents you'll be bringing

There's never been a doubt,
But sometimes I feel afraid.
We need to talk it out;
That always makes it okay.

Sometimes friends don't understand
The love I have for you,
But everywhere I go, I know,

If you think you're gonna fail
Well, you're probably gonna fail
So tell me, what was all the dreaming for?
And if you think you're gonna lose
Well, you're probably gonna lose
So what's the point in trying anymore?

What you're looking for, you'll find

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant!
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
Come and behold him
Born the King of Angels:
O come, let us adore Him, (3×)
Christ the Lord.

God of God, light of light,

They were the sweetest words I'd ever heard
My heart could barely take it in
Like water offered to the lips
Of a tired and thirsty man
Cuz it's a tangled web of woven
I don't know all the reasons
But it amazes me to wake up
To your mercy every morning

Rocking around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling

You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday

Laura loves her little family,
And she's the kind of woman who loves them with her life.
But sometimes in the evening,
When the world rests on her shoulders
With four walls closing in,
She'll close her eyes.

It's not like she misses being younger,

(Oh....)

Let me say once more that I love you,
Let me say one time, maybe two,
That I love the way that you love me,
And I wish I knew more of you.

Let me say once more that I love you,

There are two of me
One does the right thing,
One cannot see.
Standing back to back,
Who is the strong one
In the last act?
Every path I take,
Roads I go down,

[Chorus:]
I care about you
I don't want to push you
Sharayah
I care about you
I don't want to lose you now
I don't want to lose you now
Come with me...sharayah.

Sing your praise to the Lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing, one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the Lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good, that it's
Gonna do ya

Well, I may not get applause every night when I sing,
And I may not hear the cheers of a crowd.
And my voice can't always rise to make the mountains ring,
And at times I can't even sing out aloud.

But you've got me singing a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too.
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, "Yoo-hoo!"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Giddy-yap, giddy-yap, giddy-yap, let's go,
Let's look at the show
We're riding in a wonderland of snow.

(One, two)
Within your eyes I find it easy to believe
I Can't deny, it comes as no surprise to me
That no matter where you are
That's where I want to be
I can reach another star if you stand by me
I can hold it in my hand, feel it's energy
I can face another day if you stand by me

I'm laying it all out on the table,
I'm telling you again what I've already told you before:
My love is not a soon forgotten fable;
My heart is not a box with a lock in a five and dime store.

So there's no need to question me and my feelings.
Oh, wondering if I am sure.
Ask me again, and I'll tell you the same,

Sometimes we make it harder than it is
We'll take a perfect night
And fill it up with words we don't mean
Dark sides best unseen
And we wonder why we're feeling this way
Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same
Why we can be unkind
Questioning the strongest of hearts

Children carry through the streets
A brightly painted star
Angels gather round the hearth
Strumming on guitars
Men of great renown and faith
Say prayers on boulevards
It's the night before Christmas
But you don't have to be an angel

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.

When I feel afraid,
And think I've lost my way.
Still, You're there right beside me.

It's chaos in the car seats, heading south on 65
They're asking "Are we there yet?"
Every minute of the drive
To be together at Christmastime
The last flight out was canceled
'Cause of unexpected snow
She's sleeping in the terminal
With the whole world headed home

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from god
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome holy child
Welcome holy child

Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known

Face to face we embrace
We drink of love's sweetest wine
Whispered names fan the flames
Each touch is frozen in time
I can feel your heart
And the rhythm of it echoes through my soul
Well surely you know

Got myself in this situation
I'm not sure about
Climbing in where there's temptation
Can I get back out?
I never can quite find the answer
The one I want to hear
The one that justifies my action
Says the coast is clear
