All I want for Christmas is you –oo – oo - oo... (repeat)

Amazing grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like meI once was lost but now am found

4

Was blind but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fearAnd grace my fears relievedHow precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed

(Solo—Choir Ooohs)Through many dangers, toils and snaresI have already comeTwas grace that brought me safe thus farAnd grace will lead, lead me home

When we’ve been there ten thousand yearsBright shining as the sunWe’ve no less days to sing God’s praiseThan when we’ve first begun

I cannot tell – verse 2I cannot tell how silently he sufferedAs with his peace he graced this place of tearsOr how his heart upon the cross was brokenThe crown of pain to three and thirty yearsBut this I know he heals the broken-heartedAnd stays our sin and calms our lurking fearAnd lifts the burden from the heavy-ladenFor yet the Saviour, Saviour of the world is here

"As"

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolvingAnd the rosebuds know to bloom in early MayJust as hate knows love's a cure

5

You can rest your mind assuredThat I'll be lovin' you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrowBut in passing will grow older every dayJust as all is born is newYou know what I say is trueThat I'll be lovin' you always

Chorus 1Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the skyUntil the ocean covers every mountain highUntil the day that eight times eight times eight is fourUntil the day that it's the day that I'm no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothingHer acceptance is the way we payDid you know that life has given love a guarenteeThat last through foreverAnother day

As today I know I'm living for tomorrowCouldn't make me be the past but that I mustn't fearNow I know deep in my mindThe love of me I left behindAnd I'll be loving you always

Chorus 2Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the skyUntil the ocean covers every mountain highUntil the dolphins fly and parrots live at seaUntil we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Chorus 3 / 1Until the day is night and night becomes the dayUntil the trees and seas just up and fly awayUntil the day that eight times eight times eight is fourUntil the day that it's the day that I'm no more

6

Did you know that true love asks for nothing(True love don't wanna pay)Her acceptance is the way we payDid you know that life has given love a guaranteeTo last through forever (Another day)

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolvingAnd the rosebuds know to bloom in early MayNow I know deep in my mindThe love of me I left behindThat I'll be lovin' you always


Chorus 3 / 1Until the day is night and night becomes the dayUntil the trees and seas just up and fly awayUntil the day that eight times eight times eight is fourUntil the day that it's the day that I'm no more


Chorus 3 / 1 (above)

Always-ay-ay-ays Always-ay-ay-ays Always-ay-ay-ays

Back to my roots

Zipping up my bootsGoing back to my roots, yeah

7

To the place of my birthBack down to earth

I'm standing in the rainDrenched and soaked with painTired of short time benefitsAnd being exposed to the elements

I'm homeward boundGot my head turned around Ooh – Aaah

Zipping up my bootsGoing back to my roots, yeahTo the place of my birthBack down to earth

Ain't talking 'bout no roots in the landTalking 'bout the roots in the manI feel my spirit's getting oldIt's time to recharge my soul

I'm zipping up my bootsGoing back to my roots, yeahTo the place of my birthBack down to earthI'm homeward boundGot my head turned around

Ooh – Aaah

Zipping up my boots…

Better than a hallelujah

God loves a lullabyIn a mothers tears in the dead of nightBetter than a Hallelujah sometimesGod loves the drunkards cry

8

The soldiers plea not to let him dieBetter than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseriesGod just hears a melodyBeautiful the mess we areThe honest cries of breaking heartsAre better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for lifeThe dying man giving up the fight Are better than a Hallelujah sometimesThe tears of shame for what's been doneThe silence when the words won't come Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseriesGod just hears a melodyBeautiful the mess we are The honest cries of breaking heartsAre better than a HallelujahBetter than a church bell ringingBetter than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out our miseriesGod just hears a melodyBeautiful the mess we are The honest cries of breaking heartsAre better than a HallelujahREPEATBetter than a hallelujah sometimesBetter than a hallelujahBetter than a hallelujah sometimesBetter than a hallelujah

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERWhen you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all

I'm on your side When times get rough

9

And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you

I'll take your part When darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl, Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind – Oh-oh-oh

Do they know it’s ChristmasIt's Christmastime, there's no need to be afraidAt Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shadeAnd in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joyThrow your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer, pray for the other onesAt Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun

10

There's a world outside your window, and it's a world of dread and fearWhere the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tearsAnd the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doomWell tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this ChristmastimeThe greatest gift they'll get this year is life (Oooh)Where nothing ever growsNo rain or rivers flowDo they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyoneHere's to them underneath that burning sunDo they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the worldFeed the worldFeed the worldLet them know it's Christmas time Feed the worldLet them know it's Christmastime

Love can build a bridge

I’d gladly walk across the desertWith no shoes upon my feetTo share with you the last sliceOf bread I had to eatI would swim out to save youIn your sea of broken dreamsWhen all your hopes are sinkingLet me show you what love means

ChorusLove can build a bridgeBetween your heart and mineLove can build a bridgeDon’t you think it’s time?Don’t you think it’s time?

I would whisper love so loudlyEvery heart would understandThat love and only loveCan join the tribes of manI would give my heart’s desireSo that you might seeThe first step is to realiseThat it all begins with you and me

Chorus

Lovely day

When I wake up in the morning light And the sunlight hurts my eyes And something without warning Bears heavy on my mind

Then I look at You And the world's alright with me Just one look at You And I know it's gonna be A lovely day ... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...

When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way

Then I look at You And the world's alright with me Just one look at You And I know it's gonna be A lovely day.....

When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day...

Man In The Mirror38

I'm gonna make a change, for once in my lifeIt’s gonna feel real goodGonna make a difference, gonna make it right

As I, turn up the collar on my favourite winter coatThis wind is blowin’ in my mindI see the kids in the street with not enough to eatWho am I to be blindPretending not to see their needsA summer’s disregard, a broken bottle topAnd a one man’s soulThey follow each other on the wind you know'Cause they got nowhere to goThat's why I want you to know

I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'm asking him to change his waysAnd no message could have been any clearerIf you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself then make a changeNa Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Nah, Na Nah

I've been a victim of a selfish kind of loveIt's time that I realiseThat there are some with no homesNot a nickel to loanCould it be really meanPretending that they’re not alone

A willow deeply scarred, somebody’s broken heartAnd a washed out dreamThey follow the pattern of the wind you seeCause they got no place to beThat's why I’m starting with me

I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'm asking him to change his waysAnd no message could have been any clearer

39

If you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself then make a change

I'm starting with the man in the mirrorI'm asking him to change his waysAnd no message could have been any clearerIf you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself then make that – change!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror - oh yeahI'm asking him to change his ways - better changeAnd no message could have been any clearer If you wanna make the world a better placeTake a look at yourself then make a change You gotta get it right while you got the time’Cause when you close your heartYou can’t close your… your mind Then you close your mind I'm starting with the man in the mirror…

Many rivers to cross

Many rivers to crossBut I can't seem to find my way overWandering I am lost as I travel alongThe white cliffs of DoverMany rivers to cross and it's only my willThat keeps me alive

40

I've been licked, washed up for years And I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me aloneIt's such a drag to be on your ownMy woman left and she didn't say whyWell I guess, I gotta try.Many rivers to cross but where to begin,I'm playing for timeThere'll be times when I find myself thinkingOf committing some dreadful crime.

I've got many rivers to crossBut I can't seem to find my way overWandering I am lost as I travel alongThe white cliffs of DoverMany rivers to cross and it's only my willThat keeps me aliveI've been licked, washed up for years and,I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me aloneIt's such a drag to be on your ownMy woman left and she didn't say whyWell I guess, I gotta try.I've got many rivers to crossBut I can't seem to find my way overWandering I am lost as I travel alongThe white cliffs of DoverI’ve got many, many, many rivers to cross ooh ooh

Mary’s Boy Child

Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day. And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day.

Long time ago in Bethlehem, so the Holy Bible say, Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

Hark, now hear the angels sing, a king was born today, And man will live for evermore, because of Christmas Day. Mary's boy child Jesus Christ, was born on Christmas Day.

While shepherds watch their flock by night, they see a bright new shining star, they hear a choir sing a song, the music seem to come from afar.


For a moment the world was aglow, all the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted "Let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace."

Now Joseph and his wife, Mary, came to Bethlehem that night, they found no place to bear her child, not a single room was in sight.


Oh a moment still worth was a glow, all the bells rang out there were tears of joy and laughter, people shouted "let everyone know, there is hope for all to find peace".

Search for the hero

Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes.A train arrives but never leaves.It's a shame.Oh life like love that walks out of the door.Of being rich or being poor.

50

Such a shame.But it's then, then that faith arrives.To make you feel at least alive.And that's why you should keep on aiming high.Just seek yourself and you will shine

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself.Search for the secrets you hide.Search for the hero inside yourself.Until you find the key to your life.

In this life long and hard though it may seemLive it as you'd live a dream.Aim so high.Just keep the flame of truth burning bright.The missing treasure you must find.Because you and only you alone.Can build a bridge across the stream.Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry.Your passport to a feel supreme.

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself.

Search for the secrets you hide.

Search for the hero inside yourself.

Until you find the key to your life.

The Living YearsEvery generationBlames the one beforeAnd all of their frustrationsCome beating on your doorI know that I'm a prisonerTo all my father held so dearI know that I'm a hostageTo all his hopes and fearsI just wish I could have told himIn the living years

56

Crumpled bits of paperFilled with imperfect thoughtStilted conversationsI'm afraid that's all we've gotYou say you just don't see itHe says it's perfect senseYou just can't get agreementIn this present tenseWe all talk a different languageTalking in defence

Say it loud, say it clearYou can listen as well as you hearIt's too late when we dieTo admit we don't see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrelBetween the present and the pastWe only sacrifice the futureIt's the bitterness that lastsSo don't yield to the fortunesYou sometimes see as fateIt may have a new perspectiveOn a different dayAnd if you don't give up,And don't give inYou may just be OK

Say it loud, say it clear…

I wasn't there that morningWhen my father passed awayI didn't get to tell himAll the things I had to say.I think I caught his spiritLater that same yearI'm sure I heard his echoIn my baby's new born tearsI just wish I could have told himIn the living yearsSay it loud, say it clear… x2 (last time – first line only)

Joseph's face was black as night The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes His path was marked By the stars in the southern hemisphere And he walked his days Under African skies Choir sing over next verse: Ooh-wah ooh-wahThis is the story of how we begin to remember This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein After the dream of falling and calling your name out These are the roots of rhythm And the roots of rhythm remain

In early memory Mission music Was ringing 'round my nursery door I said take this child, lord From Tucson Arizona Give her the wings to fly through harmony And she won't bother you no more Choir sing over next verse: Ooh-wah ooh-wahThis is the story of how we begin to remember This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein After the dream of falling and calling your name out These are the roots of rhythm And the roots of rhythm remain

Choir:Ah umba umba umba whoa-oa-oa-oa x4

Joseph's face was black as night And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes His path was marked By the stars in the southern hemisphere And he walked the length of his days Under African skies

Christmas 2013:Angels from the realms of glory,

Angels from the realms of glory,Wing your flight o’er all the earth;

Ye who sang creation’s storyNow proclaim Messiah’s birth.

Come... and worship,Christ, the newborn King.

Come... and worship,Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds, in the field abiding,Watching o’er your flocks by night,

69

God with us is now residing;Yonder shines the infant light:





Sages, leave your contemplations,Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great Desire of nations;Ye have seen His natal star.





God rest ye merry gentlemenGod rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismayRemember Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas dayTo save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy,Comfort and joyO tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem in Israel this blessed babe was bornAnd laid within a manger upon this blessed mornTo which his mother Mary did nothing take in scorn

70


From God our heavenly Father a blessed angel came;And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same;How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name.



Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place,And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace;This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface.
