SIR CLIFF RICHARD OBE
LYRICS
The child is a king
The caroller sing
The old is past
There's a new beginning.
Dreams of Santa
Dreams of snow
Fingers numb
Faces aglow
It's -
Christmas time
Mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme.
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
A time for living
A time for believing
A time for trusting
Not deceiving.
Love and laughter and joy ever after
Ours for the taking
Just follow the Master.
Christmas time
Mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme.
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see.
..
Silent night
Holy night -
It's a time for giving
A time for getting
A time for forgiving and for forgetting.
Christmas is love
Christmas is peace
A time for hating and fighting to cease.

...thanks Victor, this song is new for me. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanx Tom. Cliff Richard is quite famous here in the UK but never made it big in the US. I'll try and post other songs here from time to time.
DeleteWishing you all the best for Christmas and always. God bless.
Dearest Victor,
ReplyDeleteYes, we all need some mistletoe for love and peace...
Cliff Richard is born in Lucknow, India and Pieter has been there: https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2015/01/part-ii-of-husband-pieters-trip-to.html
Hugs,
Mariette
Cliff Richard is 82 now, and he was on TV singing earlier this week.
DeleteI'll check out your link.
God bless, Mariette.

DeleteHi Victor, I liked Cliff Richard singing many songs. The only thing I disagree with in this song are the words regarding it being a time for Santa. Have a good time celebrating our Lord's birth. God bless.
ReplyDeleteIt is a "Christmassy" song rather than a religious one. He also sings religious songs too.
DeleteBest wishes to you and yours for a Blessed Christmas.
God bless, Brenda.
I always enjoy Cliff Richard's singing ... so lovely and different than what passes for popular entertainment these days. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhen "popular" singers and celebrities appear on TV it has to be explained to me as to who they are. There are so many on our TV here that the only sense one can get from any of them is by switching off.
DeleteCliff was on TV this week singing live at age 82. Here he is in Hackney Church (London) earlier this week:

God bless, Mevely.
What a great singer Cliff Richard is. A wonderful song, thank you Victor.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it, Bill. He has just released a new album.
DeleteGod bless.

I can't believe Cliff is in his 80s and still performing, Victor. God has granted him a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
True, God has granted him a great gift. In 1966 (aged 26) Cliff caused a sensation at a Billy Graham crusade by announcing to the world that he had become a Christian. Apparently, many of his fans wept in the days following, realising that his new found faith meant that some of his values would undoubtedly change! Some probably thought that Cliff might give up his music career to become an evangelist, and he actually did consider giving up the pop music business to become a teacher.
DeleteHowever, he remained a singer and became very successful also as a great Christian ambassador. Unlike many celebrities, he often speaks up for Christianity and his faith.
God bless, Martha.
I've always liked Cliff Richard. This is a lovely song but one I've not heard before.
ReplyDeleteThank you Happyone. It's a lovely song dating back to 1988.
DeleteGod bless always.
Always enjoyed listening to Cliff Richard.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this post.
All the best Jan
He is certainly very talented and successful for many years.
DeleteGod bless, Jan.
We enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteChristmas is love
Christmas is peace
A time for hating and fighting to cease.
Christmas time.....
In the lyrics mean so much, I could not really enjoy the song without the lyrids. Love it.
Thanks, We are sending love and good thoughts your way. Love to you and yours at this special time in life.

Fingers numb, faces aglow
Oh, it's Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme

A time to rejoice in the good that we see
A time for living, a time for believing
A time for trusting, not deceiving
Love and laughter and joy ever after

Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme

A time for forgiving, and for forgetting
