Christmas Without Christ

by Stan C. Countz

VERSE 1
The holidays are on their way.
Bring out the tinsel, wreaths and bells
Time to write those cards and take
those decorations off the shelves
But He's the reason for the season
Not reindeer, sleighs and elves
The worst gift we could ever get
is someone wrapped up in themselves

VERSE 2

The holidays are coming.
Time for gifts and toys.
I can hear the drumming
of the Little drummer boy.
Why do I feel like running
When I should be full of joy?
I'm runnin' out of money
And my life is one big void

CHORUS

Full of stress and strife
But it's not supposed to be
He came to bring us life
And that abundantly
OUTRO
We've paid too high a price
We've grown up way too fast
Christmas without Christ
Would be nothin' but a mass

Stand for Somethin'

by Stan C. Countz
Today’s the first day of the onslaught of summer
They say it’s the longest day of the year
I hope and pray I'll be an overcomer
And bring a Spirit of love, not a spirit of fear

Help me march to the beat of a different drummer
Help me do the right thing though the crowd may jeer
To be long and lean like a long distance runner
To proclaim my dream and make it loud and clear

It's odd to believe in your God-given dreams but be not deceived
His truth will take hold of your hard-baked soul and you'll grow
a new pair of wings
No one knows which way the wind blows
or what tomorrow brings

Give no thought for tomorrow, let not anyone borrow
Your notes, your hopes or your dreams.
You've got to stand for something
or you'll fall for anything!
