Here's the Sing, I mean, Here's the Thing

Singing is just the thing. Two Verses From Two Songs To Sing Out Loud! Even if you don't feel like singing, you're sure to feel joyful if you do! Sing it, baby! We sang these as a church this morning. These are songs I hadn't thought of as "Christmas" songs, but they seemed Christmasy today! We sang all the verses, but here are only the 1st verses of each song: Now, If you read this, don't just read it, but sing it! SING OUT LOUD so that A. others in hearing range will wonder what you are doing and come join the singing! OR

2. Others in hearing range will have to talk louder, turn up the Christmas music or movie or at least roll their eyes because you are joyful and they are scroogy (or simply because you are rather "quirky")! This first one we sing to the tune of "Danny Boy" The Savior of the World 1. I cannot tell why He whom angels worship Should set His love upon the sons of men, Or as the Shepherd, He should seek the wanderers, To bring them back, they know not how or when: But this I know, that He was born of Mary, When Bethlehem's manger was His only home, And that He lived in Nazareth and labored, And so the Savior, Savior of the world has come! (Now one more time with gusto!) This next one we sing to a "contemporary" tune from Indelible Grace Music, but it can also be sung to "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing!" Again, sing out Loud!!! Who Is This So Weak And Helpless Who is this so weak and helpless Child of lowly Hebrew maid, Rudely in a stable sheltered Coldly, in a manger laid? 'Tis the Lord of all creation, Who this wondrous path has trod; He is God from everlasting, And to everlasting God!
