Topic: Shine On Christmas
Song I wrote in response to a post in SOTM
Hope you like it...... and I hope it's good enough that someone with musical talent (which I sorely lack ) could
give it a go.
Thanks in advance

Shine on Christmas By Jim Kenyon
Verse 1
.
[C] When Jesus was born that evening, so many years ago
The [F] angels were not singing to make a [C]holiday you know
[F]Peace on Earth and good will to all, oh, they [C]knew he was the one
Let [G]Christmas always be about the birth of [F]God's only [C]son
Verse 2
.
[C]King of Kings, Lord of Lords,a servant to the lost and poor
He [F]is the light and the way, he’s the [C]path through heaven’s door
[F]Forgiveness and redemption, are there for [C] all who believe
So [G]sing Hallelujah, for the birth of Christ, he's the [F]Prince of [C]Peace
.
Chorus
.
[F]So shine on Christmas, let us hear angels [C]voices fill the air
Like [F] wind that you can’t see, know [C]that Jesus is there
[F]shine on, shine on so brightly, oh [C] Christmas, shine so bright
And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night
.
Verse 3
3
[C]May the Spirit of Christmas fill your heart with peace and joy
May [F]the mystery of believing, find the home of [C]every girl and boy
[F]May the power of the Holy Spirit bring a [C]smile to your face
And [G] may faith, love, and hope, bring you an [F] everlasting [C] grace
.
Chorus
.
[F]So shine on Christmas, let us hear angels [C]voices fill the air
Like [F] wind that you can’t see, know [C]that Jesus is there
[F]shine on, shine on so brightly, oh [C] Christmas, shine so bright
And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night
And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night
And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night
And [G] remind us of the birth of Jesus, on that [F]holy December [C] night
