Sing to the well-known tune ‘Come and praise the Lord our King’, and combine with slapping knees and snapping fingers 1-2-3-4

Listen to our Christmas song, alleluia;
Join the chorus, sing along, alleluia.
Jesus, he is the main guy
Think of him, and then reply
Shepherds watched their flocks by night
Heard the angels, saw the light
Found the child in Bethlehem
Son of God and Son of man
Wise men travelled from afar
Read the prophets, saw the star
Herod could not make him out
So he tried to take him out
Joseph, watch that nasty king
Get up quick, you’re escaping
Egypt was their home a while
Change of climate and life-style
Home to Nazareth he came
For a life with just one aim
Jesus grew to be our friend
Pleasing God he did intend
That is all my Christmas story
Sing his praise, and give him glory

Christmas RAP

Thank you God for Christmas time
Gifts that please and words that rhyme
Hands to hold and legs to walk
Fairy lights and angel talk
(snap snap snap snap)
Furry toys, exciting ploys
Patient teachers, lovely features
Friends who listen, friends who dare
All the folk who really care
(snap snap snap snap)
Trips by bus and car and train
Going up by aeroplane
Candle flicker, tinsel glitter
Lentil soup and chicken tikka
(snap snap snap snap)
Smiling faces, different races
Shoes with easy tie-up laces
Frosty breath and bells that chime
Thank you God for Christmas time!
