When Christmas Comes To Town (Tutorial)

Posted by chris on December 9, 2008

I beg of you, please, please, please be patient when learning this song. This is just about the most complicated song I’ve ever attempted to teach through video. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have done it, cause it probably raises the bar on the difficulty of the songs I teach. But I really like the song, and I started it and wanted to finish. So here it is. I know I say “flat” alot, and I got annoyed hearing myself say it so much. But whatever… that’s the key the song is in. Anyway, enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

    A          D        A

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 You
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us Holy
Perfect Son of God, Welcome to our world
