Your Holiday Song

Gather round girls and boys,
It’s time to make your joyful noise
Some feel it in the feast after the fast,
Or the oil lamps everlasting,
Or the Solstice in the wild,
Or the birth of a baby child.
(chorus) It’s your holiday song
No one more true or right or wrong
When our faith calls our name
Someone else’s does the same
Hallelujah! Thank you.
So gather round girls and boys
It’s time to raise your lowly noise
Some feel it in the drum, in the snare
Or the silence of their prayer
Or the church bells on the hill
Or the harmony of goodwill
(chorus)
For every voice lifted in song
The sacred place we all belong
A chance to heal a broken world
With every voice in every song
Of every boy and every girl!
(chorus repeat)
