Just in time for Easter is a wonderful Christmas song, “Let the Season Shine” by Judy Bailey (No87 in AOV). Every one of Judy Bailey’s songs in this collection so far has been a delight and this is no exception. This could be sung all through advent as well as at Christmas itself. My backing is a bit disappointing as there are so many notes that BIAB decided it would refuse to play them all, however by the time that happens you should know the melody.
If you don’t have AOV NG you can purchase this song for download at As One Voice.
Verse 1
A child is born, a star lights up the world.
Emmanuel is fleshing out the word.
Let the season shine. Let the season shine!
Verse 2
The church bells ring, to celebrate his birth
And people sing of joy and peace on earth.
Let the season shine. Let the season shine!
Let the season shine! Let the season shine!
Chorus
One and all hear the call.
Let’s live our lives to be a light
As we walk in the light of God together.
Hope has come through the Son,
A chance of heav’n for ev’ryone
This Christmastime remember.
Let the season shine!
Verse 3
The perfect time to lay our hatred down,
Time to forgive, let love flow all around.
Let the season shine. Let the season shine!
Let the season shine! Let the season shine!
Chorus
out, Jesus, let the season shine out,
Jesus, let the season shine out,
Jesus, let the season shine out,
Jesus. let the season shine!
Bridge
Oh we all, oh we all hold the key to the light now –
Let the season shine x8
Chorus
