12 Days of Christmas--Day 8--Christmas Contemporary Music

On the 8th day of Christmas...there are contemporary Christmas songs! (aka songs that are more along the lines of rock-n-roll and/or written in the last 40 years or so!)

These are some of my favorites...

1. Joseph's Lullaby by Mercy Me
Excerpt:
Can You feel the weight of Your glory?
Do You understand the price?
Does the Father guard Your heart for now
So You can sleep tonight?



2. Believe by Josh Groban
Excerpt:
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
Believe in what your heart is saying.
Hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste.
There's so much to celebrate.



3. Christmas Like a Child by Third Day
Excerpt:
I want to feel Christmas, how it used to be
With all of its wonder falling on me
This season has felt so empty, oh for quite a while
I want to feel Christmas like a child



4. Baby It's Cold Outside by Zooey Deschanel and Leon Redbone
Excerpt:
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice



5. Do They Know It's Christmas? by Glee Cast
Excerpt:
It's Christmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
