Top 10 Christmas Songs & Lyrics Sung by Christian Artists

Christmas is a special time for many people, but it's especially extraordinary for Christians. It's a season dedicated for us to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. These are my top 10 favorite Christmas songs and lyrics by some of my favorite Christian artists.

Mary Did You Know - sung by Gary Chapman

Listen to Mary Did You Know (it's not Gary Chapman's version but it's good)

Lyrics:

Mary, did you know, That your baby boy, Would someday walk on water?, Mary did you know, That your baby boy, Will save our sons and daughters?, Did you know, That your baby boy, Has come to make you new?, This child that you've delivered, Will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know, That your baby boy, Will give sight to a blind man?, Mary did you know, That your baby boy, Will calm the storm with his hand?, Did you know that your baby boy, Has walked where angels trod?, When you kiss your little baby, You've kissed the face of God., The blind will see, The deaf will hear, The dead will live again, The lame will leap, The dumb will speak, The praises of the Lamb

Mary did you know, That your baby boy, Is Lord of all creation?, Mary did you know, That your baby boy, Will one day rule the nations?, Did you know, That your baby boy, Is heaven's perfect Lamb?, This sleeping child you're holding, Is the Great I Am

Christmas Is All In The Heart - sung by Steven Curtis Chapman

Listen to Christmas Is All In The Heart

Lyrics:

In a one bedroom apartment on the humble side of town, There stands a little Christmas tree, looks a lot like Charlie Brown's, And underneath there's one little gift for him and one little gift for her.

After six months on the new job, they're still barely getting by, So in the way of decorations, there's nothing there to catch your eye; But both of them would be the first to say: We're together, we're gonna have the merriest Christmas anyway.

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart, that's where the feeling starts, And like a fire inside, it touches every part, 'Cause Christmas is all in the heart, And even if no white snow falls, that's all right (okay) because The joy can still be found, wherever you are, 'Cause Christmas is all in the heart.

Two little blonde haired boys with big dreams, tried to sleep but sleep wouldn't come; We'd be tearing into presents, long before the break of dawn, With Mom and Dad and cameras making sure we'd never forget that day.

Now I'm the one who's taking pictures, in the middle of the night, Of my own blonde headed dreamers that just can't wait until daylight, And in my sleeps eyes the spark still glows; Well I guess there's just some things a kid never outgrows.

No, it's not in the snow that may or may not fall, And it's not in the gifts around the tree; It's in the love heaven gave, the night our Savior came, And that same love can still be found wherever you are, 'Cause Christmas is all in the heart - It's all in the heart.

This Baby - sung by Steven Curtis Chapman

Listen to This Baby

Lyrics:

Well, He cried when He was hungry, Did all the things that babies do; He rocked and He napped on His mother's lap, And He wiggled and giggled and cooed. There were the cheers when He took His first step, And the tears when He got His first teeth; Almost everything about this little baby Seemed as natural as it could be.

But this baby made the angels sing, And this baby made a new star shine in the sky. This baby had come to change the world. This baby was God's own son, this baby was like no other one. This baby was God with us, this baby was Jesus.

And this baby grew into a young boy, Who learned to read and write and wrestle with dad; There was the climbin' of trees and the scrapin' of knees, And all the fun that a boy's born to have. He grew taller and some things started changing, Like His complexion and the sound of His voice; There was work to be done as a carpenter's son And all the neighbors said He's such a fine boy.

But this boy made the angels sing, And this boy made a new star shine in the sky. This boy had come to change the world. This boy was God's own son, this boy was like no other one. This boy was God with us. This boy became a man,

And love made Him laugh and death made Him cry. With the life that He lived and the death that He died, He showed us heaven with His hands and His heart, 'Cause this man was God's own son. This man was like no other one, Holy and human right from the start.

This baby was God with us, this baby, this baby was Jesus; this baby was Jesus, this baby was Jesus.

Sweet Little Jesus Boy - sung by Casting Crowns

Listen to Sweet LIttle Jesus Boy (this is not the Casting Crowns version but still good)

Lyrics:

Sweet little Jesus boy, born in a manger, Sweet little Holy child, we didn't know who You were, Long time ago it seems You were born, Born in a manager Lord, sweet little Jesus boy

Didn't know you'd come to save us all, To take our sins away, Our eyes were blind we did not see, We didn't know who You were

You have shown us how, And we are trying, Master You have shown us how, Even as You were dying

This world treats You mean Lord, Treats me mean too, But that's how things are done down here, We didn't know it was You

Didn't know You'd come to save us all, To take our sins away, Our eyes were blind we did not see, We didn't know who You were

While You Were Sleeping - sung by Casting Crowns

Listen to While You Were Sleeping

Lyrics:

Oh little town of Bethlehem, Looks like another silent night, Above your deep and dreamless sleep, A giant star lights up the sky, And while you're lying in the dark, There shines an everlasting light, For the King has left His throne, And is sleeping in a manger tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping, For God became a man

And stepped into your world today, Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history, As a city with no room for its King, While you were sleeping, While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem, Looks like another silent night, The Father gave His only Son, The Way, the Truth, the Life had come. But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping, The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today, Jerusalem, you will go down in history, As a city with no room for its King, While you were sleeping, While you were sleeping

United States of America, Looks like another silent night, As we're sung to sleep by philosophies, That save the trees and kill the children, And while we're lying in the dark, There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky, For the Bridegroom has returned, And has carried His bride away in the night

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping, Will Jesus come again, And leave us slumbering where we lay, America, will we go down in history, As a nation with no room for its King, Will we be sleeping, Will we be sleeping

United States of America, Looks like another silent night

Silent Night - sung by Amy Grant

Listen to Silent Night (it's not the Amy Grant version but is still a wonderful classic Christmas song)

Lyrics:

Silent night, Holy night, All is calm, All is bright, Round yon virgin, Mother and Child, Holy infant, So tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, Holy night, Shepherds quake, At the sight, Glory streams, From heaven afar, Heavenly hosts, Sing alleluia, Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born

Angels We Have Heard on High - sung by Point of Grace

Listen to Angels We Have Heard on High (not the Point of Grace version)

Lyrics:

Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply, Echoing back their joyous strains.

Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem and see, Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.

Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.

See within a manger laid, Jesus Lord of heaven and earth; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, With us sing our saviors birth.

Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.

What Child Is This - sung by Barlow Girl

Lyrics:

What Child is this who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping?

This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear, for sinners here, The silent Word is pleading.

Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, The cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own Him; The King of kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him.

Raise, raise a song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Jesus, Light of the World - sung by Third Day

Listen to Jesus Light of the World

Lyrics:

The most beautiful night of the year, All the stars light up the sky, And the city is sparkling with silver and gold, From a million points of light, A reflection of something that's deeper within, Just a flicker of something more

Jesus, Light of the World, Shine through the darkness, Bright as the day, Jesus, Light of the World, Shine in our hearts, Show us the way tonight

Who is this child in a manger? Kings bow down and angels sing, The Lord of the Universe, Has come here to save us, A precious Offering, All the heavens above and the earth below, Are filled with the light of Your love

Jesus, Light of the World, Shine through the darkness, Bright as the day, Jesus, Light of the World, Shine in our hearts, Show us the way tonight

Jesus, Light of the World, Shine through the darkness, Bright as the day, Jesus, Light of the World, Shine in our hearts, Show us the way

Jesus, shine, shine, Show us the way, Light of the world, Shine in our hearts, Show us the way tonight, Oh, Show us the way tonight

Lyrics:

Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns! Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove, The glories of His righteousness, And wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, And wonders, wonders, of His love.
