Tuesday Tunes 14: Twosday - 2 for 1 Day!

Since it is Tuesday (or Twosday, as Tina pointed out) I have decided to include 2 songs for Christmas today. I feel like I need to drown out the political chaos that our country is in today. It could suck me up with it, but I refuse to give in!

Here's one for Tina, since she has put this song in my head again! At least it has lovely pictures of warm places. Let's all go to Hawaii, shall we?



(If you cannot see the above, it is Bing Crosby's "Mele Kalikimaka", which I am sure you are all familiar with!)

The second one is more serious, I guess. I want to make sure that I include some that actually deal with the reason for the season, pardon the expression! This is one of my favorites. I really like the Michael W. Smith version, but I really liked this video (it's the Chris Rice version). "Welcome to our World".

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking

How we need to hear from God

You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child

Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger

How I wish we would have known

But long-awaited Holy Stranger

Make Yourself at home

Please make Yourself at home

Bring Your peace into our violence

Bid our hungry souls be filled

Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world

Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us

Tender brow prepared for thorn

Tiny heart whose blood will save us

Unto us is born

Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around

YouBreathe our air and walk our sod

Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God

Perfect Son of God

Welcome to our world

May we visit the manger anew this year.
