JPF Home Page Forums Lyric and MP3 Feedback Lyric Feedback Forum 3 When Santa Met Jesus

The imaginary first time meeting between Santa and Jesus. It brings out the child's imagination of believing in Santa Claus and the adult reality that it's Jesus Birthday at the same time. I hope no one is offended by it. If so, I apologize. For a sample of how this song sounds go to:

WHEN SANTA MET JESUS

When Santa met Jesus, under the Christmas tree,
He shouted HO HO HO and he sang out with glee,
I’m so glad to see you, I’ve waited for so long,
Now you’re here tonight right where you belong.

Then Jesus said to Santa, I’m glad you’re doing your part,
To bring love, peace and joy to every child’s heart,
If everyone on earth, would practice how you give,
This world would surely be a better place to live.

Keep Christ in Christmas, he was born for you and me,
Keep Christ in Christmas, he was born to set us free.

On this special night, 2000 years ago,
A virgin gave birth to Jesus so it’s told,
Santa said to Jesus, that’s why this time of year,
I go and spread some hope, love, joy and cheer.

There’s a little bit of Santa, inside you and me,
We prove it when we place our gifts beneath the tree,
Then sing heavenly praises each voice in one accord,
And celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Keep Christ in Christmas, he was born for you and me,
Keep Christ in Christmas, he was born to set us free.

He’s the reason for the season,
He’s the reason for the season,
He’s the reason for the season.

First NEW crit! Good idea. Not really opening up anything new, but could do well with proper music.
One thing I'd question is the usage of this:
"A virgin gave birth to Jesus so it’s told"

Think you could come up with another rhyme for ago. As it is, it casts a bit of doubt on the veracity of the statement, kinda like, "Well, I dunno know, but that's what I heard".

A virgin birth produced (brought forth) the child who would be Lord.

You may not like the rhyme of lord with old....
Ben

No offence at all.

Good idea for a song. Ben brought up a valid point and I agree.
The way it is worded makes one doubt.

Welcome and Merry Christmas.

Douglas

Thanks Ben for pointing that out. I was never quite satisfied with the ending in that line. I would never want to cast any doubt on the validity of Jesus's birth. How about if I say, "A virgin gave birth to Jesus this I know" Did you listen to the song? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks again.

Myrtle

Thanks Douglas. I will change that in some way not to cast any doubt. Maybe the way I wrote it for Ben. Any suggestions from you?

Myrtle

Great idea for a song! I don't think you really need "He's the reason for the season" -- at the end...because if feels to me like you've already said it in the lyric

Emily

Hi Emily,

Glad you liked it. If it ever gets recorded for real, I want that line to be kind of a fade out on the last if the artist likes it. If he or she doesn't, it can be left out. Thanks for your suggestion.

Myrtle

Hi Myrtle,
This is nice and warming for the christmas period. Paints a happy picture.
All the best,
Philip.

Thanks Philip for the nice comments. Merry Christmas and all the best to you.

Myrtle

Ben F,

How does this sound?

"A virgin gave birth to Jesus this I know"

Would not cast any doubt on the validity of Jesus birth. Thanks.

Myrtle

Hi Myrtle,

Yeh nice writing & a good healthy statement.
I agree the one area in question needs a little something.

On this special night, 2000 years ago,
A virgin gave birth to Jesus so it’s told,

It's true that a virgin gave birth to Jesus
please us ?

Have a good evening..

Calvin
