I Need a Silent Night
Vocals: American singer; songwriter and musician Amy Grant.
Lyrics: Amy Grant and British Contemporary Christian singer and classic songwriter Christopher Neville Eaton.
I Need a Silent Night
I’ve made the same mistake before,
Too many malls, too many stores.
December traffic, Christmas rush,
It breaks me till I push and shove,
Children are crying while mothers are trying,
To photograph Santa and sleigh.
The shopping and buying and standing forever in line.
What can I say?
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise.
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here,
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
December comes then disappears,
Faster and faster every year.
Did my own mother keep this pace,
Or was the world a different place?
Where people stayed home wishing for snow,
Watching three channels on their TV.
Look at us now rushing around,
Trying to buy Christmas peace.
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise,
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here.
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
What was it like back there in Bethlehem,
With peace on earth, good will toward men?
Every shepherd’s out in the field,
Keeping watch over their flock by night,
And the glory of the Lord shone around them,
And they were so afraid.
And the angels said fear not for behold,
I bring you good news of a great joy that shall be for all people.
For unto you is born this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace.
I need a silent night, a holy night,
To hear an angel voice through the chaos and the noise,
I need a midnight clear, a little peace right here,
To end this crazy day with a silent night.
To end this crazy day with a silent night.

You Needed Me
Vocals: Canadian pop, country, and adult contemporary music singer, who has sold over 55 million album copies worldwide Anne Murray.
Lyrics: American songwriter, pianist, and producer Randy Goodrum.
You Needed Me
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry,
I was confused, you cleared my mind,
I sold my soul, you bought it back for me,
And held me up and gave me dignity,
Somehow you needed me.
You gave me strength to stand alone again,
To face the world out on my own again,
You put me high upon a pedestal,
So high that I could almost see eternity,
You needed me, you needed me.
And I can’t believe it’s you,
I can’t believe it’s true,
I needed you and you were there,
And I’ll never leave, why should I leave?
I’d be a fool, ’cause I finally found someone who really cares.
You held my hand when it was cold,
When I was lost, you took me home,
You gave me hope when I was at the end,
And turned my lies back into truth again,
You even called me “friend”,
You gave me strength to stand alone again,
To face the world out on my own again,
You put me high upon a pedestal,
So high that I could almost see eternity,
You needed me, you needed me.
You needed me, you needed me.
