More Christmas. More Christmas. More Christmas! All Christmas season I couldn't get that little phrase out of my head! Pastor Dave told us every week that he firmly believes we need more Christmas in our lives, and that message kept reasonating in my heart over and over and over. In my life when something is on my heart I simply have to pick up a guitar and write a song. Anytime I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of emotion about something, it is almost guaranteed a song will follow. When I'm hurt...a song. When I'm lonely...a song. When I'm thankful...a song. When I'm in love...usually lots of songs! So when I felt the conviction of Pastor Dave's message on more Christmas this year...a song:

"More Christmas"

Decked the halls
Spread some cheer
Saw shining faces
Smiling ear to ear

But something is wrong
With my heart
With all the bright lights
I still feel dark

With all the Christmas around me
There'?s still more that I need

I need more joy
I need more hope
I need more angels singing in exelsis deo
I need the love
I need the peace
Of that little baby born in simplicity
I need more Christmas

But there?s no time
For peace of mind
It takes two cups of coffee just to feel alive
Our Savior has come
Our Savior is here
I spend too much time in mourning
I need some more rejoicing

Oh bring me some comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh bring me some comfort

And I need more joy
I need more hope
I need more angels singing in exelsis deo
I need the love
I need the peace
Of that little baby born in simplicity
I need more Christmas
