LYRICS to Let It Snow:
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stoppin
And I brought me some corn for poppin
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss good-night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

And the fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

LYRICS:
Day after day
I try to explain You
Like I can contain You in so many words
You are the ocean
And I'm on the shoreline
Thinking I know You like You could be learned

It's so amazing that You'd ever save me

I thought I knew Your face
I thought I tasted grace
But I had never felt anything close to this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the dawn
With my eyes open wide
It feels like the first time, first time
It feels like the first time, first time

After all of my searching
All of my reaching
I'm left with nothing
Nothing of worth
You treasure the broken
Over and over
Give me a hope that could never be earned

It's still amazing that You'd ever save me

I thought I knew Your face
I thought I tasted grace
But I had never felt anything close to this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the dawn
With my eyes open wide
It feels like the first time, first time
It feels like the first time, first time

Your beauty no eye has seen
Your majesty overwhelming
Your love for me is healing oh God

I thought I knew Your face
I thought I tasted grace
But it was nothing like this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the dawn
With my eyes open wide
I feel alive for the first time, first time
Just like the first time, first time

I can see for the first time, first time
Feels just like the first time

The song “The Garden” by Kari Jobe is a powerful anthem of hope and redemption. The lyrics invoke images of a garden, a symbol of growth, renewal, and restoration. Through poetic language, Jobe explores the themes of faithfulness, healing, and the transformative power of love.
Verse 1 begins with a sense of desperation and longing for a sign of love. The narrator feels lost and seeks something good and kind to bring peace to their troubled mind. The chorus then presents a turning point in the song, as hope suddenly arrives like a breath of fresh air. The garden becomes a metaphor for this newfound hope, sweeping away the ashes of despair and awakening the narrator from their slumber.
The second verse reveals a profound realization that the presence of love was never absent from the narrator’s life. It is suggested that this moment of clarity was predestined by a higher power. The greenery in the garden serves as a testament to this faithfulness, providing a visual representation of the constancy of love.
In the second chorus, the imagery of growing ivy breaking through walls signifies the unstoppable nature of love’s healing power. It depicts love’s refusal to be contained or hindered by obstacles. The repetition of the line “You will stop at nothing to heal my broken soul” emphasizes the relentless determination of love to bring about wholeness and restoration.
The bridge of the song further strengthens the message of hope and restoration. Faith is compared to ivy reaching for the light, symbolizing its upward growth and resilience. Hope stirs deep within, filling the narrator with a sense of renewal and making all things right. Love enters the scene, lifting the narrator from their sorrow and catching every tear. It dispels the lies and torment, crushing all fears with its perfect love.
The final chorus takes a broader perspective, emphasizing redemption and the cycle of life. The growth and transformation seen in the garden are likened to the death and resurrection found in every single seed. This imagery speaks to the universal nature of redemption and the potential for new beginnings in every aspect of life.
LYRICS:
I had all
But given up
Desperate for
A sign from love

Something good
Something kind
Bringing peace to
Every corner of my mind

Then I saw the garden
Hope had come to me
To sweep away the ashes
And wake me from my sleep

I realised
You never left
And for this moment
You planned ahead
That I would see
Your faithfulness in all of the green

I can see the ivy
Growing through the wall
'Cause you will stop at nothing
To heal my broken soul

I can see the ivy
Reaching through the wall
'Cause you will stop at nothing
To heal my broken soul

Oh you're healing broken souls
Healing, you're healing broken souls

Faith is rising up like ivy
Cringing for the light
Hope is stirring
Deep inside me
Making all things right

Love is lifting me from sorrow
Catching every tear
Dispelling every lie and torment
Crushing all my fears

You crush all my fears
You crush all my fears
With your perfect love
With your perfect love

Now I see redemption
Growing in the trees
The death and resurrection
In every single seed

There is a gate that stands ajar,
And through its portals gleaming,
A radiance from the cross afar,
The Saviour’s love revealing.



[CHORUS]
O depth of mercy! Can it be,
That gate was left ajar for me?
For me….. for me…………,
(For me,) (For me)
Was left ajar for me
That gate ajar stands free for all,
Who seek through it salvation,
The rich and poor, the great and small,
Of every tribe and nation.
Press onward, then, though foes may frown;
While mercy’s gate is open,
Accept the cross, and win the crown,
Love’s everlasting token.

LYRICS:
He wakes up every day the same
Believing he's gonna make a change
Never wonders if but when

I guarantee he can find a way
To reach out and make somebody's day
'Cause someone took the time with him

He believes it's the little things
That make a great big change

Hey, Mr. Lovewell
Doing today what you do every day
No matter how small, believing it's all the same

Come on, Mr. Lovewell
Oh, we could use a few more just like you
Who care enough to give this life away

'Cause you've been changed
The generous Mr. Lovewell loves today

It may be a simple, "How do you do?"
The kind of thing that can pull them through
A minute or two can mean so much

Or maybe it's the one across the street
He's asking if there's anything they need
'Cause they will know us by our love

It may not mean that much to him
But it's the world to them

Hey, Mr. Lovewell
Doing today what you do every day
No matter how small, believing it's all the same

Come on, Mr. Lovewell
Oh, we could use a few more just like you
Who care enough to give this life away

'Cause you've been changed
The generous Mr. Lovewell loves today

We all need more Mr. Lovewells
We all need more Mr. Lovewells
We all need more Mr. Lovewells

Hey, Mr. Lovewell
Doing today what you do every day
No matter how small, believing it's all the same

Come on, Mr. Lovewell
Oh, we could use a few more just like you
Who care enough to give this life away

'Cause you've been changed
The generous Mr. Lovewell loves today
Need more Mr. Lovewell
The generous Mr. Lovewell loves today
Need more Mr. Lovewell

LYRICS:
A poor orphan girl named Maria
Was walking to market one day
She stopped for the rest by the roadside
Where a bird with a broken wing lay
A few moments passed 'til she saw it
For its feathers were covered with sand
But soon clean and wrapped, it was travelling
In the warmth of Maria's small hand

She happily spent her last peso
On a cage made of rushes and twine
She fed it loose corn from the market
And watched it grow stronger with time

Now the Christmas Eve service was coming
And the church shone with tinsel and light
And all of the town folk brought presents
To lay by the manger that night
There were diamonds, and incense, and perfumes
In packages fit for a king
But for one ragged bird in a small cage
Maria had nothing to bring

She waited till just before midnight
So no one would see her go in
And crying she knelt by the manger
For her gift was unworthy of Him

Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness
Maria, what brings you to me
If the bird in the cage is your offering
Then open the door, let me see
Though she trembled, she did as He asked her
And out of the cage, the bird flew
Soaring up into the rafters
On a wing that had healed just as new

Just then the midnight bells rang out
And the little bird started to sing
A song that no words could recapture
Whose beauty was fit for a king

Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
To that cascade of notes, sweet and long
As her offering was lifted to heaven
By the very first nightingale's song

LYRICS:
He was born in Bethlehem they say,
There was a star to light the path to where He lay.
Rich or poor they came from far and near,
'Cause they'd all heard the reason He was here.

He was the Son God sent to one and all.
Put on this earth to hang there on that cross.
Born to die so we could live.
He had the birthday, we got the gift.

They wrapped him up with gentle hands.
God hoped the world would understand.
Eternal life we shall receive.
And all that He asks in return is that we just believe.

He was the Son God sent to one and all.
Put on this earth to hang there on that cross.
Born to die so we could live.
He had the birthday, we got the gift.

No way in this world we could repay Him
The miracle He gave us on that day.

He was the Son God sent to one and all,
Put on this earth to hang there on that cross,
Born to die so we could live.
He had the birthday, we got the gift.

on our Savior's birthday, we got the gift...

LYRICS:
For them there were no presents
Around the Christmas tree
No flashing lights unless you count
The lamp across the street
A fire in a barrel
No chimney and no roof
To most of them Santa Claus
Was the man who made the soup
In an alley was a mother
Two children by her side
Trying hard to keep the spark
Of true Christmas alive
She said we may not have some things
That other people do
But Christmas is for everyone
And were Gods children too
Oh and Jesus loves you
And so do I
Think about the baby
And the star up in the sky
I don't think Santas comin
Cause he don't know where we live
But who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
Well early Christmas morning
While they were still asleep
I packed a box of food and clothes
And walked back to their street
Imagine my surprise
When I saw presents all around
Blankets, toys and winter coats
Beside them on the ground
And the card I read from Santa said
Inside the three of you
The real heart of Christmas
Is still beating strong and true
Oh and Jesus loves you
And so do I
Think about the baby
And the star up in the sky
Santa Claus is comin
Cause he know where real faith lives
But who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
Who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift
Who needs Christmas presents
We already have the gift

The rocks are gonna cry out if we don't
Now's the time to raise a song
Hear creation shout loud
We will join our voice to that sound
Stand up, stand up, the time has come
Sing it out, sing an anthem to His name
A generation worshiping unashamed

To be Your hands and feet upon this earth
Send us in Your power
As we take heaven to a broken world
Stand up, stand up, the time has come
Sing it out, sing an anthem to His name
A generation worshiping unashamed
