Fa La La(blah, blah, blah)

SATB and Piano

Words by

William MacDuff

Music by

Roger Bourland

The Holidays are squalid days Somehow I get carried away!Full of rushing and crushing and noise! Fa la la.Shoppers fret, gotta get Mom is mad ‘cause there’s too much to do,Turkey and toys and all the rest. Sis’ is sick with the Asian flu,Choirs promise peace and harmony, Dad’s in Barbados with Wife Number Two.Glad tidings to you and me. Fa la la.And blah, blah, blah. Wanna cry, but then I seeLet’s sing a little carol that will better say Mom and Sis ‘round the Christmas tree.The way we really feel: Distressed! Whad-da-ya know?Days are short and the weather is hard, Grandpa finally turned off the TV!Traffic jams every boulevard, Eat, drink and revel and then eat somemore;Postal officials have doubled the guard. Each indulgence we will excuse.Fa la la. And later on we’ll say we just adoreWanna run, but I don’t dare, A lot of presents we will never use.I’m half-blinded by tinsel glare. It seems some magic that comes from above,Santa, Rudolf, why do they follow me everywhere? Makes us grateful for the ones we love.Fa la la. Maybe that’s the miracle ofDown at the office hanging mistletoe, Fa la la la la laEveryone must work at good cheer. By New Year’s day we’ll be apart but thenThe clerk is dancing with the CEO Let’s remember come December it’ll start again:They’re oh, so glad it’s only once a year! Messy, merry, necessaryThe music swells, I’m beginning to sway, Fa la la!I can’t help it, I’m ashamed to say,

It’s Christmastime, AgainSATB and Piano

Music and Words by

Scott Henderson

The year is winding down.We add up all our debts,

And on this tab we’ve run we list the things undone and tally our regrets.All those chances missed.The words we didn’t say.The hurts we didn’t heal.

Just when we start to feel the chance has slipped away.It’s Christmastime, again.The season of the heart.

When family and friends make amends.Another chance to start.

All humanity, it seems, not only lives, but learns.When we can hardly cope and think we’re losing hope;

Christmastime returns.This gift we give ourselves is one we all can share.

We’ll prove it’s not too late to try to clean the slate and wipe away despair.So we welcome Christmastime, again.

Embrace it, make it last.Don’t wait another day, the chance may melt away.

Time to hold it fast.We’ve lived another year to find it waiting here;

Christmastime, at last.

The Longest NightSATB and Piano

Words by

Julie Forest Middleton

Music by

Jason Shelton

It was the longest night.People gathered from near and far,

In small groups and large,To share their fears and grief

And the darkness in their hearts.A year like no other, this was,

Testing us beyond what we’d ever imagined.Day after day, week after week,

We found ourselves growingAnd becoming sturdy,

Because there was no other choice.And the solstice fire was lit,

And the candles passed,And the light of the new year’s dawning

Lifted our heavy hearts,And brought us brightness and hope.

It was the longest night.

A New DecemberSATB and Piano

Music and Words by

David Frank Long

Days are shorter now, darker the sky,Colder blows the wind as nature sleeps all around us.

Still, we celebrate light, we celebrate beauty.For it’s a new December!

And even though it’s winter,There’s a brighter hope,

A deeper joy,And a warmer love, love, love.

It almost seems like springtime!

There’s a special peace, this time of year.If we’re true to it, our hearts will mend, our lives begin again

As we celebrate light, we celebrate beauty.For it’s a new December!

And even though it’s winter,There’s a brighter hope,

A deeper joy,And a warmer love, love, love.

It almost seems like springtime!

Music by

Jerald Thomas Hawhee

I. In The Bleak Midwinter II. Love Came Down at Christmas

In the bleak midwinter Love came down at Christmas,Frosty winds made moan, Love all lovely, Love divine.Earth stood hard as iron, Love was born at Christmas;Water like a stone Star and angels gave the sign.Snow had fallen snow on snow Worship we the Godhead,In the bleak midwinter, Love incarnate, Love divine;Long time ago. Worship we our JesusOur God, heaven cannot hold him, But wherewith for sacred sign?Nor earth sustain; Love shall be our token;Heaven and earth will flee away Love be yours and love be mine;When he comes to reign. Love to God and all men,In the bleak midwinter Love for plea and gift and sign.A stable place sufficedThe Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.Enough for him whom cherubimWorship night and day;A breast full of milkAnd a manger full of hay.Enough for him whom angelsFall down before,The ox and ass and camel which adore.Angels and archangelsMay have gathered there,Cherubim and seraphim throng the air;But only his mother in her maiden blissWorshipped the beloved with a kiss.What can I give him, poor as I am?If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb.If I were a Wise Man I would do my part;But what I have I give him,I will give him my heart.

Tropical Christmas(from The Crocodile’s Christmas Ball)

SATB and Piano

Words by

William MacDuff

Music by

Roger Bourland

The snow is falling, the sleigh-bells callingAll across the frozen North.

It’s oh, so grand in this winter wonderland,Now is the very best of times.

But it’s December the twenty-fourth and I’m longing for warmer climes.I’m dreaming of a tropical Christmas.

Just like I knew when I was young,Where palm trees sway beside the bay

And Santa Claus rides in an open Chevrolet.I’m dreaming of a tropical Christmas

Whenever “Silent Night” is sung.Where Santa and His elves are tanned

And carolers sing with a mariachi band.Deck the malls with cotton snowballs,

Paint a frost on the window pane.Christmas can be just as jolly with a holly made of polyurethane.

I’m dreaming of a tropical Christmas where lights on lemon trees are hung.The snowbird sports black socks and shorts

And stays with his flock by the pools and tennis courts.Christmas day we’ll open presentsThen we’ll swim in the balmy sea.

After dinner we’ll retire to perspire by the fire on T.V.I’m dreaming of a tropical Christmas.

Just like I knew when I was young.Where moonlight pours on sandy shores

I’m longing to go in December, for it seemsA merry Christmas is the very Christmas

You remember in your dreams.

Winter CarolSATB and Piano

Words by

Thomas Mousin

Music by

Scott Henderson

Winter paints the evening sky with palette dark and light.Contrast sharpened by the cold at the fall of night.

Snow upon the deepest green of the forest pine.Stars against the midnight sky: Mystery's Design.

Darkness was the home to LoveWhen nourished in the womb.Light encircled Love at birth,

Where there was no room.Welcome, then, the winter sky,

Welcome pine and snow;For through both the dark and light,

Love again will grow.
