Old, Old Story

Verse1

We’ve got the same lights from the same old box

Put the same tree in the same old spot

So much to do, cause ready or not

Christmas is almost here

We play the same games like we’ve always done

Sing the same songs that we’ve always sung

Still everybody's having so much fun

It’s our favorite time of year

Chorus

But it’s the old, old story (step touch right left right left, reaching arm up and pull down

each time (alternating arms with same foot stepping out)

That’s never gonna change (step out and swipe hands out, then bring arms up over head palms up)

How God sent His Son (make hands into fists and pull down to chest, then open arms forward to lower slowly)

And the way that He came (cross arms and open out to sides)

It’s the old old story (repeat step touches from above)

But the story’s still true (step out hold hands palms up with pinkies touching, then clasp hands at chest)

And every time we tell it (step together, step touch, step together, step touch with hands framing mouth)

It’s like the old old story is new (starburst arms (cross arms low lifting arms up over head and lower arms by your side) and jump together)

Whoa-whoa-whoa (bounce knees)

Verse2

On a hillside, just some shepherd men

Heard an angel calling out to them

A Savior is born in Bethlehem

And that’s why we tell it

Again and again

Chorus

Even In The Waiting

Verse 1

Mary heard a message from an angel

Told her she was gonna have a Son

In between the promise and the manger

She waited for the miracle to come

She trusted and believed

Cause through it all she could see

Chorus

Even in the waiting - God moves (step forward right, forward left, back right, back left, jump out jump in on “God moves”)

Even in the wonder - God proves (repeat above movements)

He is there beside us (step out cross arms, touch foot beside right foot open arms out to sides, reverse the step)

Even in the silence (walk in place with index finger to mouth)

He knows what we’re going through (point right index finger to temple, and point both index fingers forward and lower down)

Cause even in the darkness - God sees (repeat movements from first two lines of Chorus)

Even in the silence – God speaks

So just keep walking, keep on trusting (step out step touch, 4 times)

Keep on praying (step out praying hands at chest)

Even in the Waiting (repeat movements for these lyrics)

Verse 2

Sometimes when you’re waiting for an answer

Something that nobody knows but you

Praying help will come but still you wonder

If there is something more that you can do

Keep trusting and believe

Cause through it all you will see

Chorus

More To The Story

Verse1

I like the part about the star in the heavens

I like the part about the shepherds too

I like the part with the angels singing

Glory to God Christ is born to you

Chorus

Cause' there’s more to the story (cross arms at chest, open arms hands to shoulders, palms up “book” hands)

Than what we can imagine (cross arms at chest, open arms to shoulders, point fingers to head)

God is up to something (roll fists wrist over wrist, up to the right, then up to the left)

Before it even happens (keep rolling fists, down to the right, then down to the left)

Just when you think (arms over head sway to the right, then to the left)

It’s as good as it can get (sway right, and left)

Remember that you haven’t seen the best part yet (walk in place 4 times, cross arms at chest, open arms to shoulders, and lift arms up to a “V”)

Verse 2

I like the part about the baby in a manger

Swaddling clothes for a Savior’s birth

I like the part where they brought Him treasures

Gold and Frankincense and Myrrh

Chorus

Bridge

And even though we celebrate (scoop arms, step together step touch, reverse and repeat all through the bridge)

That night in Bethlehem

That’s not where the story started

And that’s not where it ends

He Knows My Name

I have a Maker

He formed my heart

Before even time began

My life was in His hands

He Knows My Name (point R index finger upward, then point to temple, sign for “name” (right two fingers on top of left two fingers))

He Knows My Every Thought (point R index finger upward, then to temple, then point both index fingers to temple two times)

He Sees Each Tear that Falls (point R index finger upward, then both index fingers to eyes, and then pull fingers down cheeks)

And Hears me when I call (right hand to right ear, both hands frame mouth, and then open arms forward and lower arms)

I have a Father

He Calls me His own

He’ll Never Leave me

No matter where I go

That's What Christmas Is With Joy In The World

Chorus

That’s what Christmas is (lift arms up slowly, pull fists down to chest)

Though everything has changed (cross arms and open out to sides)

It’s been two thousand years (sway right and left arms over head)

But the story still remains (“book” hands (palms up hands touching), then clasp hands at chest)

It’s all about a Savior (sign for “Savior” fists cross at wrists, open arms (like breaking a chain, then draw arms straight down like parallel lines to sides)

And the peace that Jesus gives (sign for “peace” clasp hands right on top then left on top, and open hands to sides, sign for “Jesus” touch middle finger to right palm then right middle finger to left palm)

After all is said and done (step touch and snap right finger, step touch and snap left finger)

That’s still what Christmas is (lift arms up slowly)

Reading

Gloria: And she shall bring forth a Son and thou shall call His Name Jesus.

Silas: For unto us a child is born. Unto Us a child is given.

Ella: And the government shall be on His shoulders. And His Name shall be called…

Carson: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace

Tille: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son

Tre: That whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life

Miss Joley: And that’s what Christmas is.

Chorus

Joy to the World! The Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let every heart, prepare Him room

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and heaven and nature sing!

The Old, Old Story (Reprise)

Chorus

It’s the old, old story (step touch right left right left, reaching arm up and pull down

each time (alternating arms with same foot stepping out)

That’s never gonna change (step out and swipe hands out, then bring arms up over head palms up)

How God sent His Son (make hands into fists and pull down to chest, then open arms forward to lower slowly)

And the way that He came (cross arms and open out to sides)

It’s the old, old story (repeat step touches from above)

But the story’s still true (step out hold hands palms up with pinkies touching, then clasp hands at chest)

And every time we tell it (step together, step touch, step together, step touch with hands framing mouth)

It’s like the old, old story is new (starburst arms (cross arms low lifting arms up over head and lower arms by your side) and jump together)
