Nativity Big Band Blitz

[Verse 1] The city gates were shut up tight, We searched for lodging through the night. Poor Joseph searched, his task was great, To find a room before it's late. We found a cave, a humble place, A single lamp lit up the space. The simple hay, the silent air, A sacred moment drawing near! [Chorus] Oh, the Nativity Jingle Jump! The Angel choir sets the pump! The cattle low, the sheep all rest, The Son of God is now our guest! From humble stall to glorious sound, The greatest wonder can be found! A star so bright, it gives a gleam, Fulfilling heaven's ancient dream! [Verse 2] The shepherds came, they ran so fast, To see the promise built to last! The Wise Men traveled, far and wide, By heaven's light, they were our guide! With offerings they came to share— Their gold and spice beyond compare! We stood in awe, we bowed down low, To see the Savior start to grow! [Bridge] We chase the bells and festive lights, But miss the quiet, winter nights. You teach us service, soft and low, That we may see the Christ Child glow. The greatest giving, history tells, Began not with sleigh bells, But with the Mother Mary, holding love’s sweet miracle. [Verse 3] Then suddenly the sky was bright, With shining angels full of light! They sang a glory, clear and strong, The greatest, boldest Christmas song! The tidings cheered our weary hearts, A holy love that never parts. "On earth be peace, to men goodwill!" The joyous chorus echoes still! [Chorus] Oh, the Nativity Jingle Jump! The Angel choir sets the pump! The cattle low, the sheep all rest, The Son of God is now our guest! From humble stall to glorious sound, The greatest wonder can be found! A star so bright, it gives a gleam, Fulfilling heaven's ancient dream! [Outro] (Final massive brass chord holds and fades, leaving a gentle twinkle from the glockenspiel.) ©2025 By Matthew E Treviño
