I Wrote a Christmas Song

So it snowed for the first time on Tuesday night.. I was not happy about it. Boo Hiss!! Thankfully, it melted. I began to write a christmas song and it was going to be themed around "I hate snow", but then I giggled a little at myself and decided that was a little too hateful. The point of that was to let you know that I wrote another song. It is a Christmas song and no I don't have music for it yet. I have the beginnings of music, but have not had a chance to sit down and write it out or develop it. So hopefully, I'll have the music part done in time for christmas. We'll see. You'll like it though. It's a slow song if that helps. Here it is:


Cold Hands, Warm Heart

Verse 1:
The first snowfall of the year,
Reminds us Christmas is near,
I watch the peaceful snow dance,
Sipping hot chocolate and wassail,

Chorus:
“Cold Hands, Warm Heart”,
An expression of the heart,
Happy to think of others,
The joy of giving sends a thrill through the air,

The spirit of Christ’s love spreads,
United in care for our brothers and sisters,
Satisfying our soul’s desires,
So grateful for harmony on the earth

Verse 2:
The inviting fire warms to the core,
Icy cold weather matters no more,
Whispers of kindness sail effortlessly,
Our own demands seem trivial,

Chorus

Verse 3:
Our souls thrive with pleasure,
Sincerity and passion abound,
Uninhibited laughter overflows,
Creating a contagious atmosphere,

Chorus

Bridge:
Wonderful, Counselor, the Prince of Peace,
Echo through the air,
Sung by a thousand tongues,
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men!

Chorus x2

Sing united in harmony,
Blessed to voice gratitude to our King of Kings!

I'm glad to take any suggestions. I don't like some of the wording in certain parts, but as you know a lot of songs end up edited to make the words fit in the end. I'm open to any constructive criticism or show-stopping ideas! Love you!

  2. Hey, this is a GREAT start!

    Few suggestions:

    This Line:
    The joy of giving sends thrill through the air,

    Did you mean to say a thrill? Or thrills?

    Also, I don't like "souls blush with color" - it makes it sound like everybody's embarrassed. Unless that's what you want. :)

    But overall, this is good. I like the opposites of cold and warm.

    I hate cold, too, by the way. Especially snow.

  4. I had no idea that you had such a talent for writing! I'm no good with words though so I can't offer any suggestions. Glad you are posting them though. It's such a great way to share your thoughts and personality. Love you. Rachel

  5. Amy,
    So sorry I haven't been on your blog in forever!!!! My sister, Carin, has reprimanded me for not keeping up. Your song is beautiful. I wish I could hear the music to go with it. I am sure it is beautiful, as well.
