1. 1. Is It Christmas Yet?Listen

   Words and Music by:
   Joel Lindsey
   
   Verse
   There’s nothing slower than Christmas when you’re just a kid,
   Wishin’ and hopin’, the way we all did
   Peekin’ our eyes out from under the covers
   Pretending we’re sleeping so we’re not discovered!
    
   (Chorus)
   Is it Christmas yet?  Has the snow started falling?
   Has anyone here seen a sleigh in the sky?
   Is it Christmas yet?  Oh the minutes keep crawling
   I’m losing my patience with Old Father Time!
   “Cause we’ve decked the halls just as much as we can
   Baked cookies for Santa, Cause Santa’s the Man!
   I don’t know how much more suspence I can stand
   Is it Christmas Yet (oh yeah) Is it Christmas Yet?
    
   Verse
   I’ve been waiting for this day since back in July
   September was brutal, I thought I would die
   Finally December is right here upon us
   The clock moves so slowly; almost like it taunts us
    
   (repeat Chorus – two times)

   I Gotta Know Now - - Is it Christmas yet?
    
   Hey, Guys, I’m ready to get home for Christmas
   That’s right, Ernie, me too
   I’m ready for some turkey and dressing
   I’m ready for that apple pie
   I’m ready for some snow!
   Me too!
    
   Is it Christmas yet?

2. 2. A Quartet ChristmasListen

   Words and Music by:
   Marty Funderburk, Sue C Smith
   
   Verse:
   December 1st you'll find me, Searching through my old "LPs", For Christmas songs by Perry, Nat or Bing, But since I'm still reliving my trip to NQC, It would make my Christmas, Just hearing four men sing

   
   Chorus:
   Let's have a quartet Christmas, That sounds real good to me, Let's have a quartet Christmas, Carols in four-part harmony, Now don't get me wrong I love hearing a choir, But if the bass could go low, And the tenor sing higher, It would fill this heart of mine with cheer, To have a quartet Christmas this year

   
   I'd love it if this Christmas, We would have an all-night sing, And though it wouldn't be a silent night, As every part would join in, We'd make those rafters ring, We'd celebrate like angels, We heard on high

   
   (Repeat Chorus)

   
   Tag:
   Now don't get me wrong, I love hearing a choir, But if the bass could go low, And the tenor sing higher, It would fill this heart of mine with cheer, To have a quartet Christmas this year, Let's have a quartet Christmas this year, Let's have a quartet Christmas year, Oh yeah

3. 3. TonightListen

   Words by Gloria Gaither / Music by Benjamin Gaither
   
   Verse:
   Kings and shepherds make their way
   Straight to where a baby lay
   Rich and poor and lonely
   Bow before this sight
   A light, a star has led them to this place
   The Word that’s been echoing through space
   Becomes a child tonight

   Chorus:
   Light to shine in the darkest night
   Light to make all the wrong things right
   Light to show everyone the way
   Light to shine where a virgin lay
   Star of David, the prophet’s star
   Yahweh--God come to where we are
   Star to mark the Messiah’s birth
   Star of heaven now touches earth
   Tonight

   Angel voices fill the air
   Angel wings are everywhere
   Light so bright it’s blinding
   Shepherds shake with fright
   A song, a warmth begins to flood the hill
   “Fear not!  Peace to you--good will
   Comes to earth tonight”

   (Repeat Chorus)
   
   Light will be so bright
   It will shine through the darkest night
   Send down Your holy light

   (Repeat Chorus)

5. 5. Come Make A Place In MeListen

   Words & Music by:
   Joel Lindsey
   Sue C. Smith
   
   Verse:
   There in the hay Mary laid you
   And Joseph kept you warm
   You’d just arrived
   And with your first cry
   You fit right into their arms
   And just like you did in the stable
   Come do it all again
   There’s room for you
   Lord you’re invited in
   
   Chorus:
   Come make a place
   The shape of your love alone
   Come make a place
   Come make my heart your home
   Jesus I’m empty without you
   And you’re everything I need
   So come with your grace
   Come make a place in me
   
   Verse:
   I wasn’t there at the manger
   The night you came to earth
   Angels appeared
   But I didn’t hear
   The song that announced your birth
   But just like the shepherds came searching
   And wisemen came to see
   I come to you
   Trusting you’ll come to me
   
   (Repeat Chorus)

6. 6. Who Do You Think?Listen

   Words and Music by:
   Harold Reid, Don Reid
    

   Verse:
   There are people, Who are whispering, And the rumors are running wild, There's a woman, Who's not married, But she's gonna have a child, Her name is Mary, She's a virgin, From down in Nazareth, Now listen close, She's gonna marry a man named Joseph, But the baby's father is the Holy Ghost

   
   Chorus:
   Who do you think, Could believe such a thing, Could believe that this story is true, Who do you think, could believe such a thing, Well here's hopin' to Heaven you do

   
   Verse:
   Now they're saying, She had a baby, In a barn in Bethlehem, And the star moved 'round the Heavens, 'Til is stopped right over them, Them some shepherds said an angel, Came and told them about His birth, They always knew men went to Heaven, But now God had come to earth

   
   (Repeat Chorus Twice)

   
   Tag:
   Well here's hopin' to Heaven you do, Do you believe, We're hopin' to Heaven you do, We're hopin to Heaven you do
