One of the most loved Christmas songs ever. It was written for the film"Holiday Inn" and made popular by Bing Crosby who topped the Billboard Chart of favorite recordings in 1942, 1943 and 1944. It was awarded an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" and remains to this day a Christmas classic.

"White Christmas" is an Irving Berlin song reminiscing about an old-fashioned Christmas setting. The song was written by Berlin for the 1942 musical film Holiday Inn. The composition won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 15th Academy Awards. Bing Crosby's record topped the Billboard chart for 11 weeks in 1942 and returned to the number one position again in December 1943 and 1944. His version would return to the top 40 a dozen times in subsequent years.
Irving Berlin often stayed up all night writing. One day he told his secretary, "I want you to take down a song I wrote over the weekend. Not only is it the best song I ever wrote, it's the best song anybody ever wrote."
The song established that there could be commercially successful secular Christmas songs —in this case, written by a Jewish immigrant to the United States.
Before 1942, Christmas songs and films had come out sporadically, and many were popular. However, the popular culture industry had not viewed the themes of home and hearth, centered on the Christmas holiday, as a unique market until after the success of "White Christmas" and the film where it appeared, Holiday Inn. 'White Christmas' changed Christmas music forever, both by revealing the huge potential market for Christmas songs and by establishing the themes of home and nostalgia that would run through Christmas music evermore.
In Holiday Inn, the composition won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1942. In the film, Crosby sings "White Christmas" as a duet with actress Marjorie Reynolds, though her voice was dubbed by Martha Mears.
According to Crosby's nephew, Howard Crosby, "I once asked Uncle Bing about the most difficult thing he ever had to do during his entertainment career… He said in December, 1944, he was in a USO show with Bob Hope and the Andrews Sisters. They did an outdoor show in northern France… he had to stand there and sing 'White Christmas' with 100,000 G.I.s in tears without breaking down himself. Of course, a lot of those boys were killed in the Battle of the Bulge a few days later."
After careful research, Guinness World Records in 2007 concluded that, worldwide, Crosby's recording of "White Christmas" has sold at least 50 million copies, the most of any single.

LYRICS:
In the deep rolling hills of old Virginia
There's a place that I love so well
Where I spent many days of my childhood
In the cabin where we loved to dwell
White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead
We were all so happy there together
In our peaceful little mountain home
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
Now they sing around the great white throne
As the years roll by I often wonder
If we will all be together someday
And each night as I wander through the graveyard
Darkness finds me as I kneel to pray

LYRICS:
The battle rages on
A storm in temptest roar
We cannot when this fight
Inside our rebel hearts
We're laying down our weapons now

We raise our white flags
We surrender all to you
All for you
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

Here on this holy ground
You made a way for peace
Laying your body down
You took our rightful place
This freedom song is marching on

We raise our white flags
We surrender all to you
All for you
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We raise our white flags
We surrender all to you
All for you
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

We raise our white flags
We surrender all to you
All for you
We raise our white flag
The war is over
Love has come
Your love has won

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

Oh, we lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

We lift the cross
Lift it high
Lift it high

LYRICS:
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt?
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way for my ever wandering heart?

Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean), a vapor in the wind
Still, You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again?
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain and calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean), a vapor in the wind
Still, You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am (I am)
I am Yours

Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean), a vapor in the wind
Still, You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
You've told me who I am (I am)
I am Yours

I am Yours, I am Yours, oh

Whom shall I fear? Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours, I am Yours

When I think of how He left His home in Glory
Came and dwelt among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself a question, Who am I?

Chorus:
Who am I that a King would bleed and die for?
Who am I that He would pray not my will Thine for?
The answer I may never know, why He ever loved me so
That to an old rugged cross Hed go, for who am I?

Then Im reminded of His words, Ill leave you never
Just be true Ill give to you a life forever
I wonder what I could have done
To deserve Gods only Son
Fight my battles till there won, Who am I?

1 Who at my door is standing,
Patiently drawing near,
Entrance within demanding?
Whose is the voice I hear?

Refrain:
Sweetly the tones are falling;
“Open the door for me!
If thou wilt heed My calling,
I will abide with thee.”

2 Lonely without He’s staying:
Lonely within am I;
While I am still delaying,
Will He not pass me by? (Refrain)
3 All through the dark hours dreary,
Knocking again is He;
Jesus, art Thou not weary,
Waiting so long for me? (Refrain)

4 Door of my heart, I hasten!
Thee will I open wide.
Though He rebuke and chasten,
He shall with me abide. (Refrain)

And who on earth can comfort me,

Who could ever be more faithful, true?

Living water, rain down your life on me
Cleansing me, refreshing me

River full of life, I'll go where you lead

There is a fountain
Who is the King
Victorious warrior
and Lord of everything.

My Rock, my shelter
My very own
Blessed Redeemer who reigns upon the throne

And who on earth could comfort me and love you do?

LYRICS:
I need to be someone who's a lot like you
Easy to see that I sure need something new
Though I try to live life my way
I think it goes to prove
That I need to be someone who's like you

And I know that you want to change me
Wanna rearrange the way I feel inside
And I've heard that you take
The broken hearts of lonely souls
And you make all things right

But you know who I am
Have you seen the things I've done?
Do you know who I am?
Have you seen the things I've done?(The things I've done)

Never before, no there's never been a time
That I would implore you to take what's yours and mine
And to use it in the way you will
In any way you find
Never before did I realize

And now I know that you want to change me
Wanna rearrange the way I feel inside
And I've heard that you take
The broken hearts of lonely souls
And you make all things right

But do you know who I am?
Have you seen the things I've done?
Do you know who I am?
Have you seen the things I've done?

Do you know who I am?
And have you seen the things I've done? yeah
Do you know who I am?
And have you seen the things I've done? yeah

Do you know? Do you know who I am?
Have you seen what I've done? yeah
Do you know who I am?
And have you seen the things I've done?(The things I've done)

...ohhh... the things I've done... ohhh... do you know?...(Do I know?)

LYRICS:
Who was there before there was creation
Who illuminates the stars and sun
Who has set eternity in motion
There is just One

Who can calm the storm with just a whisper
Who can make the darkest demons run
Who can break the curse of generations
There is just One

The mighty Lion of Judah
The pure and spotless Lamb
The Alpha and Omega
The good and great I Am
The God that saves the nations
The One we bow before
Let every voice sing out
Who is like
Who is like the Lord

Who could carry sin upon his shoulders
Who endured the cross and scorned its shame
Who was laid to rest like every other
Who rose again and stormed out of the grave

You are the one true King
Lord over everything
Jesus there is no other
Jesus there is no other
Your word will never change
Your name is here to stay
Jesus there is no other
Jesus there is no other

LYRICS:
Sometimes you wonder if you got it
Wonder if you got it in you
Some days looking for the reason why

Feels like standing on a runway
Standing out on a runway lately
Watching everybody else fly by

See that wildfire in your eyes
Keep on burning, keep that dream alive
Can't let go of what you got inside
Maybe it's crazy
Maybe it's meant to be

Who says you gotta have it all figured out?
Who says you'll never feel alone in the crowd?
Who says you gotta be like everyone else?
Who says? Who says? (Who says?)

Hold on with everything you got it, everything you got it in you
Don't stop, I can see the finish line
One shot, are you gonna take it?
Are you gonna take it this time?
One life, don't let it pass you by

See that wildfire in your eyes
Keep on burning, keep that dream alive
Can't let go of what you got inside
Maybe it's crazy
Maybe it's meant to be

Who says you gotta have it all figured out?
Who says you'll never feel alone in the crowd?
Who says you gotta be like everyone else?
Who says? Who says? (Who says?)

Oh, oh, maybe it's meant to be
Maybe it's meant to be
Oh, whoa, nothing is stopping me
Nothing is stopping me

Who says you gotta have it all figured out?
Who says you'll never feel alone in the crowd?
Who says you gotta be like everyone else?
Who says? Who says? (Who says?)

Who says you gotta have it all figured out?
Who says you'll never feel alone in the crowd?
Who says you gotta be like everyone else?
Who says? Who says? (Who says?)

Inspired by the life and ministry of William Carey, the first Baptist missionary, this moving text and devotional music challenges the Christian to go into the world as the tangible expression of God's love. It is particularly appropriate for any service with a missions theme as well as times of dedication or baptism.
