I know it’s kinda early, but I wrote this in anticipation of the craziness that can be Christmas…Just to remind myself 🙂
v. 1 –
Stockings deck the fireplace
Presents ’round the tree
Colored lights
That twinkle bright
“Merry Christmas!” choirs sing.
But Merry isn’t what I feel
When lists are miles long
Of things to do
That list just grew
My heart has lost its song.
Chorus –
So I come to You on bended knee
Look in Your eyes,
Your love to see
And take Your hand with just one plea
“Jesus, will you Merry Me?”
v.2 –
Merry Christmas cards to write
Crowds that push and shove
To get a steal
On Christmas deals
My heart has lost the love.
Merry Christmas things to bake
Parties still to plan
This crazy race
At frantic pace
Feels like things are out of hand.
Chorus –
So I come to You on bended knee
Look in Your eyes,
Your love to see
And take Your hand with just one plea
“Jesus, will you Merry Me?”
v. 3 –
Then I look up on the mantle
To the sweet Nativity
That Christmas night
A Star shone bright
At the birth of Deity.
Mary there on bended knee
To love her Son, the King
He had her heart
Right from the start
This Baby, life would bring…
Chorus –
So I come to You on bended knee
Look in Your eyes,
Your love to see
And take Your hand with just one plea
“Jesus, will you Mary Me?”
Bridge –
It’s not about the presents
It’s not about the tree
The lights that glow
The falling snow
There’s so much more to see
The Merry in our Christmas
The” glad tidings of great joy”
Is there because
(And always was)
Of the birth of a holy Boy.
May my heart not just be Merry
But like Mary’s was that day
Worshipping
The living King
The Life, the Truth, the Way…
Chorus –
So I come to You on bended knee
Look in Your eyes,
Your love to see
And take Your hand with just one plea
“Jesus, will you Mary Me?”
