Give It Away Me In Motion Bethlehem Skyline 2
Our crowded hearts
Hurried plans
It feels so far from that night in Bethlehem
Parking lots and
Traffic jams
Silent night’s always slipping through our hands

We get lost and we just forget
There’s a world outside of the things we give and get

This Christmas we can make a/let’s make a little difference
Open our arms
Open our hearts
Cuz Christmas isn’t really Christmas
Til we can take
All that we are
And give it away

Cuz grace has come
To free us from
Thinking everything we have is just for us
That holy night
Turns upside-down
What we used to think it means to wear a crown

The king of kings gave his life for me
The least that I can do is to serve the least of these

Chorus

When everything is stripped away
The love that (gives us hope/lights the way/that’s holding us) still remains

Don’t you know that love will still remain

When all the rest is stripped away and nothing’s left but love
We see what Christmas calls us to become

Chorus

Is there any room that’s left for love?

/we can make a difference/make a little difference/ /we can make it different/give a little different/couldn’t it be different/Can’t we do it different?/Can we make it different?/Can we make a difference
What if love was all we had and all that we could give
Is there any room at all left for love/Christ to fill
couldn’t it be different
When we strip away the stuff/bows the tinsel
Is there any room for love to fill
Is room left in our hearts for love to fill

All we owe is fully paid our Christ has done enough
And none remains except the debt to love

The only debt we have we owe to love

Live like life was
Love like love was all we have to give

Broken hearts are welcome here

Angels we have heard on high

O Come ye faithful hearts proclaim this joy to all the world
Good news to the broken lost and poor

We can love the broken and the poor
Proclaiming joy to all the world

This is the only gift that gives us peace
When everything is stripped away our eyes can finally see
A gift of love changes everything
This story of

And everything we pay to make is undertakin’ me
And everything about a way I be
Everything we (think it means/thought it meant) to wear a crown

Then love is everything that Christmas means

came to rescue me
If our king came to serve the least/us all

If we love the least poverty
Then the king of kings peace

What it means to be

Until we repay
Right where we are

Til we give it away
Let your love
Those who cannot repay
Holding on like all we have is meant for us

We disconnect
That the gift of grace

What we used to think it meant to wear a crown
What this world tells us it means to wear a crown

That the gift of love
That the good news hasn’t
That the good news is what we give not what we get

What the good news is

That a gift is an echo of

To make some room for love

To love without

That it’s all about what we

That love came down

Again
Regret
Instead

There’s a world outside

And something’s lost
And the love gets lost and we just forget

Does it all get lost did we just forget
How did we forget
One more stop when just another gift
There’s a world outside but no one even cares

I say cuz I never pit
I could never say great in a power sit

This Christmas give a little different

Give it away

Silent night sounds a lot like
Silent night is a life we just can’t have

What that silent night began
Silent night swallowed up in

Holiday plans/Our Christmas plans

Another year
December comes
The trees are trimmed
The lights are hung

Can you hear the echo/still of a Bethlehem night

Another year
Out in the cove
I never say I would never want to go
I’m taking face
Another space
I never say I would never want to be


These crowded streets/stores
These shopping/crowded malls
These busy plans

Let our/If our hands
Move like
(Hear the echoes of/We’re still haunted by) that night in Bethlehem

When love began

It isn’t really Christmas til you give it away
Distance
Difference
Isthmus
Business
Us
Christmas ought to make a difference

This Christmas can we make it different
This Christmas we can make a difference

This is why I took my wish list
Threw it away
There's a reason I say
This Christmas givin something different (gonna make a difference)
I'll pay the cost
So somebody lost/Christmas begins
Until we give it away

This Christmas make a little difference
Christmas ought to make a difference

Christmas only becomes Christmas

When we give it away

I'm not just whispering another bedtime prayer
When the world outside needs to know that someone cares
or
I'm gonna get outside finally show them that I care

Christmas isn’t really Christmas

Can have it better this year

Or

I'll pay the cost
To bring somebody lost
A better Christmas this year

Or

I'll take the lead
To give somebody in need (our brothers in need / a brother/ sister in need)
A better Christmas this year

I'll take the stand
And fill up their empty hands
So it's better this year
