Christmas!

Here 01:27
2.
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the sky looked down where He lay; The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes. But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Come To You 01:52
4.
God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,
 Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day; 
To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray. O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy; 
O tidings of comfort and joy.
5.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
 Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Shepherds, why this jubilee? 
Why your joyous strains prolong?
 What the gladsome tidings be
 Which inspire your heavenly song? Come to Bethlehem and see 
Christ Whose birth the angels sing; 
Come, adore on bended knee, 
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Dove 06:03
You’re a dove that’s been sleeping in the dirt With a heart for the poor And a hand for the hurt And you cry for all your friends Cause you’re the only one who Still feels I want to know a person like you Who’s not afraid to love the wicked and the poor I want to know a person like you Who’s not afraid to touch crooked and the whore Love the sick // and divorced Touch the user // and the falling apart You’re a lamb wearing thorns for a crown While your words of peace Are bigger than sound And you hurt for all your friends Cause you’re the only one who Still feels You're a king born in straw from the field With a star up above And a cross for your love And you came for all your friends Cause you're the only the one who Still feels

Jingle Bells 00:53
9.
Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room, And heav'n and nature sing, And heav'n and nature sing, And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing. Joy to the world! The Savior reigns; Let men their songs employ. While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders of His love.
10.
Silent Night 03:56
Silent night, holy night All is calm, All is bright Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child Holy Infant so Tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, holy night Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing Alleleulia Christ the Saviour is born! Christ the Saviour is born. Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord at thy birth, Jesus Lord at thy birth.

about

A Merry Christmas to you!

Well, after having so much fun making and releasing the "Christmas! EP", I decided to make a full length album, simply called "Christmas!" and I do think you'll really love it, for MANY reasons, some of which are listed below:

1. BONUS ZIP-PRESENT: When you get the full album, you also get a lyric sheet to print out and sing along with, the album cover, a super awesome Christmas card from me in a forest of poinsettias (my fave!), AND "A Continuous LIstening Experience Long Play MP3" is included with no track breaks, songs interwoven, the absolute BEST way to listen.

2. DOVE: A favorite from my Enter the Worship Circle Chair and Mic, has been full-out produced and a new verse written for this album…so good!

3. KARLA ADOLPHE: The Flowery Folk Canadian Diva is featured on Silent Night and all over the project.

4. RELEVANT MAGAZINE happened to put one of the songs on their Christmas Best-Of Mixes for 2010!

5. It's Eight Bones ($8).

Download, freshen your playlist, enjoy, love,
Aaron

p.s. "Like" it on Facebook, blog it, tweet it, dance to it at your Christmas Sweater Parties.
