“When Christmas Comes to Me” – by Mike Harland and Jeff Lippencott

December 16, 2019 2 Comments

Angels fill the star-lit sky
The songs of perfect praise
Mary sang a lullaby
As she laid Him in the hay

Wise Men brought their best to Him
And placed it at His feet
So what will be the gift I bring
When Christmas comes to me?

Should I sing Glory to the Lord
The song the angels sing
Or marvel at the Savior’s birth
When gifts of love I bring
Of all the ways His name is praised at His nativity
I’ll bow before the infant King
When Christmas comes to me

Crowds rush by a manger scene
And never see the grace
That wrapped God’s Son in human flesh
And sent Him to this place

If time and space cannot contain
The royal infant King
What will be the song I sing
When Christmas comes to me?

Should I sing Glory to the Lord
The song the angels sing
Or marvel at the Savior’s birth
When gifts of love I bring
Of all the ways His name is praised at His nativity
I’ll bow before the infant King
When Christmas comes to me

Of all the ways His name is praised at His nativity
I’ll bow before the infant King
When Christmas comes to me

    Is it possible to get a copy of the music and/or cd of “When Christmas Comes to Me”? Would love to share it with our congregation.

      it’s available at: discoverworship.com. I don’t have my own version of the song. It’s been a special one to me since we wrote it, but that was over twenty years ago!

      Thank you for writing!
