Hey ... I wrote a Christmas song! I've written thousands of songs, recorded hundreds . . . but haven't proper wrote a Christmas song! (probably have, lol, but can't remember, and must not have been good enough to remember)... BUT this one is. It wrote itself, so-to-speak....
Going to premiere it live next Friday at the annual "All-Star Christmas Show" at Velour Live Music Gallery in Provo, Ut.
Ha. It's a chance to lay down some JESUS on the Mormons there, and they have always been very appreciative when I've done "Peace On Earth/The Little Drummer Boy" there the last several years.
Gotta say . . . I'm kinda thrilled with this new song I was inspired to quick write (most best songs are quick-they write themselves)...
I will post stuff related to it soon, fwiw :)
The working title is "Merry Christmas Everyone (He Paid The Price")

That is great, Brother Thomas! Can't wait to hear it. I will be praying about the Friday show.

Christmas Bells
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - 1807-1882
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."
