This is a new carol for Christmas and Advent. It's from my first charity Christmas EP where all the proceeds go to a fund to help a girl get treatment for a rare form of cancer. See www.chrismedway.com for more details.

CHRIS MEDWAY: WATCH OUT! MUSIC Christian children kids praise, worship and theatrical songs. Strange & Beautiful, Weird & Wonderful music
Hello, and welcome to Chris Medway's WATCH OUT! Music page on Soundclick where you will find fun and creative music for kids aged 0 to 200. So turn on the Soundclick music player, turn up yo' speakers, grab anything within reach that remotely resembles an instrument and let's jam......... CHRIS MEDWAY is a Christian composer/ songwriter/ musician/ producer from Devon, UK. CD "ALL ABOARD THE HEAVEN EXPRESS" Using quirky but catchy Biblically-based songs, inspired arrangements, atmospheric sound effects and train announcements, all lightly spiced with (questionable) humour, Chris has created a fun and evocative CD for all kids aged 0 to 200. Woo-Hoo. So climb aboard the Heaven Express and be taken on an electrifying musical tour calling at exciting stations to Heaven Central. Another Woo Hoo. This CD will brighten up your day at any time but if you press play at around 10:13 a.m. then you can even experience the journey in real time. Woo-Hoo again. Chris' music is often described as colourful, eclectic and theatrical. Click on the 'music' thingy above and play some music to see why. Two of Chris' children's songs, "If you know God's love" and "O, Give thanks to the Lord" were published and recorded by Kingsway Children's Ministry with Ishmael and have been used in kids worship many times. Also of interest: The hitherto unreleased demo CD from Chris' stage musical about Daniel raised many eyebrows due to witty lyrics and intricate instrumentation. Some crazy and beautiful songs from the musical can be found here. It's a roar. ### The Heaven Express will be coming to a station near you, so WATCH OUT! ###

Story behind the song
This is a new carol for Christmas and Advent. It's from my first charity Christmas EP where all the proceeds go to a fund to help a girl get treatment for a rare form of cancer. See www.chrismedway.com for more details. I would love this to be on traditional carol sheets in 200 years time!
Lyrics
A LOVE GIFT FROM HEAVEN VERSE 1 A Love Gift from Heaven arrived on the earth; Announced by His angel: Our Lord came to serve. Enthroned in a trough; clothed in humblest array, God gave us himself on that first Christmas day. VERSE 2 While we were still sleeping He came in the night, And shattered our darkness with His piercing light. Lord, shine and awaken the sleepers, we pray, To open your love gift on this Christmas day. CHORUS O come, Yes, O come, Lord Emanuel As once on the earth, now in lives to dwell, O Light of Man, burn bright in us. O come Lord Jesus come, Lord Jesus. Come Lord Jesus come. VERSE 3 The birds live in nests and the foxes in holes, On Earth their Creator had no place called home. O Lord in our hearts we invite you to stay, And draw more hearts near to be born on this day CHORUS O come, Yes, O come, Lord Emanuel... VERSE 4 In this festive season, this good news we bring: That all are invited to feast with the King. His season of joy shall forever remain When he comes to take us on that final day. CHORUS O come, Yes, O come, Lord Emanuel... Chris Medway (c) 1998/2007 Watch Out! Music
