Homeless Christmas Medley
I took a walk one Christmas
Down forbidden streets
Saw the homeless people
With no food to eat
Some were struck with illness
From the freezin’ cold
Others lost their homes
While they were growin’ old
A man came up to me and asked me for a dime
I could tell his back was achin’
By his crooked spine
He had no one to care
For sores upon his arms
Protect him from the cold
Shelter him from harm
Chorus I
No one should be homeless at Christmas
Everyone should have a place to stay
No one should be homeless at Christmas
No one should wake up alone
On this Christmas Day
We’re livin’ in a time
When people loose their minds
We’re livin’ in a world that’s full of
Of hate and crime
But I see a new tomorrow on this Christmas night
Through the darkened streets, I see a holy light
(chorus I)…
Part I of medley begins here: Angels (From Realms of Glory)
I would like to travel
On a timeless flight
Back to
On that holy night
I’d come to see the babe
Wrapped in swaddling cloths
join in singin’ carols
with that heavenly host
chorus II:
of angels from realms of glory
bring good tidings
redemption story (repeat)
I would like to travel to
The holy land
Ride with the wisemen on the desert sand
The drummer boy would play
Pa rum pa pa pum
And ask that it be sung
(chorus)
I would like to travel
With you by my side
Put you on a donkey
So that you could ride
You could ride…
(chorus; repeat chorus)
I’d like to introduce you
To that baby king
Make the world a better place
With peace he brings
Put a song in your heart
So that you could sing
Put music in your soul
So that you could rock n roll
With those…
(chorus; repeat chorus)
