I have quite a few holiday songs I like:
O Holy Night
Ava Maria
(they are so beautiful and I love to sing them)
also, Face of Love by Jewel:
until tonight
my heart was just half full
i'd never known the fruit which fed the soul
but now i see what may put to rest my longing
for i have seen, the face of love
the grace of god, the face of love
in silence i feared my heart
would remain words unheard
inside a separateness of skin
but now i know that the skin just veils the soul
for i have seen, the face of love
the grace of god, the face of love
so take my hand and knowing
with it i also give my heart
wanting never to be separate again
let eternity begin
if you were flame
i'd allow myself to be consumed completely
were you wind i would wish you pass through me
but now i know that the skin just veils the soul
for i have seen, the face of love
the grace of god, the face of love
and Hands (christmas version) by Jewel:
if i could tell the world just one thing
it would be that we're all okay
and not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
i won't be made useless
i won't be idle with despair
i'll gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
and i am never broken
poverty stole your golden shoes
it didn't steal your laughter
and heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
we will fight not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
'cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
i am never broken
('cuz) in the end only kindness matters
in the end only kindness matters
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray
i will get down on my knees, and i will pray
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours,
they are my own
but they're not yours,
they are my own
and i am never broken
we are never broken
we are god's eyes
god's hands
god's hands
we are god's eyes
we are god's eyes
we are reflections of god
(god's hands)
we are reflections of god
(we are god's eyes)
we are reflections of god
and of course the Hannukah song by Adam Sandler- thanks, unkle phil!
