Song Lyrics to Blake Bolerjack’s “The Christmas Light”
1. Have You Seen That Child?
Written by: Ben Storie
Have you seen that child
That child of Mary
Have you seen that child
The one she carried
He was born in a Bethlehem stable today
You’ll find him swaddled asleep on the hay
Have you seen that child
That child of Mary
Have you seen that child
He’s like no other
He’s a blessed sight
A child of wonder
He’s got the shepherds singing with the angel
band
And the wise men are giving their treasures to
him
Have you seen that child
He’s like no other
Oh my oh my
What a sight
Come and see Emmanuel
He’s in the world tonight
Come bow before him
He’s the promised child
Oh come adore him
This new born babe lying in the straw
Is the image and the person of Almighty God
Have you seen that child
Come bow before him
Oh my oh my
What a sight
Come and see Emmanuel
He’s in the world tonight
Have you seen that child
His name is Jesus
Oh he is the Christ
Who’s gonna free us
His tender shoulders will bear our sin
He'll carry the weight of the world on Him
Have you seen that child
Have you seen that child, yeah
Tell me Have you seen that child
His name is Jesus
Have you seen that child

2. I Have Seen the Light
Written by: Robert Sterling/Chris Machen
I was a seeker for light in a dark world,
I looked for truth but settled for lies.
I had been blinded; I couldn't see
Till the Star in Bethlehem's sky opened my eyes.
I have seen the Light shining in the darkness,
Bursting through the shadows, delivering the dawn.
I have seen the Light whose holy name is Jesus,
His kingdom is forever; He reigns on Heaven's throne!
There in a manger, an innocent baby;
Who could believe He was the One;
I can believe it, I know it's true;
He changed my life; He is the light; He is God's Son!
I have seen the Light shining in the darkness,
Bursting through the shadows, delivering the dawn.
I have seen the Light whose holy name is Jesus,
His kingdom is forever; He reigns on Heaven's throne!
We must tell the world what we`ve seen today in Bethlehem!
He`s the promised King; we bow down and worship Him!
Worship Christ The King!
I have seen the Light shining in the darkness,
Bursting through the shadows, delivering the dawn.
I have seen the Light whose holy name is Jesus,
His kingdom is forever; He reigns on Heaven's throne!

3. Let It Snow
Written by: Sammy Cahn
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 stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
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'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
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'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow...!

4. Winter Wonderland
Written by: Felix Bernard/Dick Smith
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man, But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

5. Ring the Bells
Written by: Tony Wood/Ronnie Freeman/Cindy Morgan/ Mark F. Hammond
Lightly, softly the world lies sleeping
Heaven bends to earth below
Christmas morning children waking
To hear the sacred story told
Joy to the world, the Lord has come
Ring the bells…ring the bells
Emmanuel
Ring the bells…ring the bells
Emmanuel has come.
(Has come)
So join the host of angel singing
Glory to the new born Christ
Good good news
Fills the sky
Ring the bells…ring the bells
Emmanuel
Ring the bells…ring the bells
Emmanuel has come.
Our long awaited wonderful savior
Has come to deliver us out of the darkness
And into this marvelous love that has given us
LIFE
New life.
So shine your light
Shine it bright
Yeah!
(Joy to the world the Lord has come)
Joy to the world the lord has come
Ring the bells…oh ring the bells, Emmanuel
Oh ring the bells…ring the bells
Emmanuel, Emmanuel has come.
(Has come)
Go and tell...go and tell
Emmanuel...Emmanuel, Emmanuel has come

6. I Wonder As I Wander
Written by: John Jacob Niles
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all
But high from God's heaven, a star's light did fall
And the promise of ages it then did recall.
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star in the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's Angels in heaven to sing
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor on'ry people like you and like I;
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

7. Joy, Joy
Written by: Matt Huesmann/Wendy Wills/David Phelps
Like a drama unfolding, the curtain was opened
While an audience of angels was holding its breath
A census, a manger, two travel-worn strangers,
The stage was finally set
Angels folded their wings at the throne, worshipping
As God whispered, “I love you, my Son.”
Jesus took off His crown and laying it down
Said, “Father, Thy will be done.”
The time had now come for God’s only Son
To be born as a light in a dark, lonely place
So He stepped from Heaven’s hall to Bethlehem’s stall
Where a star lit His newborn face.
Then God called to Gabriel with gladness and tears
“Play the trumpet, the horns, and the strings
Tell the shepherds, and the wise men and all who will hear
Command all the angels to sing
Fill the sky with your voices and sing!”
Joy, joy to the world
Praise to the King
Oh, let it ring
Joy, joy to the world
Worship and sing
Jesus has come to bring
Jesus has come to bring Joy!

8. Mary Did You Know?
Written by: Mark Lowry
Mary did you know that your baby boy
will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy
has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you.
Mary did you know that your baby boy
will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy
has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby,
you have kissed the face of God.
The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb.
Mary did you know that your baby boy
is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy
will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy
is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
is the great I am.

9. The Christmas Song
Written by: Mel Tormé/Robert Wells
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
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
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
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
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
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you

11. The First Noel (with Joy to the World)
Traditional/Isaac Watts
The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay:
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
(Joy to the World , the Lord is come!)
Noel, Noel, Oh
(Joy to the World , the Savior reigns!)
Joy, Joy to the world!
(He rules the world, with truth and grace!)
He rules the world, with truth and grace!
And makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness
And wonders of his love, And wonders of his love,
And wonders, wonders of his love
(Joy to the World , noel noel)
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
(Joy to the World , the Lord is come, Joy to the World , Noel)

12. Oh Holy Night
Written by: Adolph E. Adams
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born!
O night
O holy night, O night divine!
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy Name!
Christ is the Lord
O Praise his name forever
His Power and glory
Evermore proclaim
O night, O Holy night
O night divine
O night divine
