Merry Christmas with love
She leaned with her head on the window
Watching evergreen bend in the snow
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago
When children would reach for their stockings
And opened the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes
Reflecting the love all around
This year there's no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made its way to the floor
She heard voices outside start to sing
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love
Carolers sang as she opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Driven away by the sound
Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with a song
As she clung to their hands like a child in the night
She found herself singing along
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love
(Performed by Clay Aiken)
I remember many years ago Su Min singing this song for caroling. I wasn't involved much with the ISS or MYF then. The melody has always been stuck in my head, didn't know that Clay Aiken covered it till I was searching for it on the net.
Christmas always gives me a feeling of lonliness; now I know why. Jesus came into the world not in some posh palace but in a manger. He was ushered into the world not by angels or princes and kings, but by dogs, pigs, horses etc. His was a lonely birth in some obscure town.
It was a really quiet Christmas Eve for me, for once thankfully. No caroling, no partying, just some time alone most of the day to contemplate. Results came out, they were okay. Thank God. Honours? Maybe.
Merry Christmas to all.
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make His face to shine upon you
And be gracious unto to you
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you
And give you peace.
