THREE SUGGESTIONS
1) Consider taking the core of a worship song that your congregation knows well and use it a the end of a Christmas song.
2) Try using the refrain of “O Come All Ye Faithful” with other text, such as “We give You all the glory,” “For You alone are worthy.”
3) Find common worship songs that include some of the Christmas story (themes of light, peace, glory) and some of the worshiper’s journey (the need for His light or His peace in their life).
- “The splendor of a King clothed in majesty” (How Great Is Our God – Tomlin)
- “Beautiful Jesus” (Stanfill)
- “Glory in the Highest” (Tomlin)
- “Light of the world” (Here I Am to Worship – Hughes)
- “You are peace, You are peace (Forever Reign – Hillsong)
It will take time to plan, but it will help engage your congregation both with Christmas music and in worship while celebrating our Lord’s birth.
