Lyrics

Verse 1

Chestnuts roasting
On an open fire
Jack Frost nipping
At your nose
Yuletide carols
Being sung by a choir
and folks dressed up
Like eskimos

Verse 2

Everybody knows a turkey
And some mistletoe
Help to make
The season bright
Tiny tots
With their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard
To sleep tonight

Bridge

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys
And goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

Verse 3

And so I’m offering
This simple phrase
To kids from one
To ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Verse 4

And so I’m offering
This simple phrase
To kids from one
To ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times
Many ways
Merry Christmas

Christmas Is Beautiful - Shelly E. Johnson

Friday, October 20, 2017

Shelly E. Johnson's debut Christmas album, Christmas Is Beautiful, presents the story of Christmas in a new way through a variety of musical styles.  "We got to unpack this massive idea of God, the Creator of the Universe, becoming a tiny embryo, being born as a baby, living a human life, all for the purpose of giving His life for us to save us from ourselves and reconcile us with Himself," Shelly explains. "That’s a huge, mysterious, beautiful Story, and it was so rewarding having a chance to pour my heart into telling that Story from my perspective. Christmas is that time of year that it seems the whole world is more open to hearing the Gospel. I hope this album brings the Gospel to life in a unique way for someone who may not be interested in God or be aware of how much He loves them."  We are now carrying the MultiTracks and other resources for the album, which includes "Noel (Light of the World)," "What a Savior," and "Gift of Love" featuring Seth Condrey.  We encourage you to check out Christmas Is Beautiful today, now available on iTunes.
