On starry night
One star so bright
A miracle behold
In Bethlehem 
Oh, Bethlehem 
The greatest story told 

Now come ye all 
Come one and all
And follow yonder light
A saviour born 
Our saviour born 
This holiest of nights 

On bed of straw 
A bed of straw
There lay the newborn king
And on that eve 
That blessed eve 
Salvation he did bring 

The angels kneeled
They bowed and kneeled
Beneath that star so bright
Then sang for him 
They sang for him 
That holiest of nights 

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
The angels, they did sing
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Rejoice the newborn king!

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
The children all did sing 
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
To Christ the newborn king!

This time of year 
Throughout the year
The miracle behold
And in our time
Let peace define 
The greatest story told 

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
The angels, they did sing
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Rejoice the newborn king!

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Let every child sing
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
To Christ the newborn king!

Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hear all his people sing
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Our saviour, Christ our king!

My Grudge

By Karianne Gabaldon

A depressing piece about someone hating themself so badly that they are their worst enemy and hold a self-grudge. Hurting themself into oblivion. I must admit that this was me until I got help. I am no longer this person due to newfound self-love. I hope those who feel this way get the help that they need as well. I love you and God loves you.

It's Only Me

By Yeni Cuff

Still in disbelief that they could walk away and leave you with so many memories so you find yourself holding on to some of these memories until there comes a point when you realize it's time to throw in the towel and focus on other things. Eventually, you will focus on other things after accepting the fact that it was only you.

Home Alone

By Rowan Wilton

This song is from the perspective of an ambitious house bound individual who is daydreaming of fulfilling their heart’s wildest desires while enjoying earthly comforts. Though our protagonist has been wronged on many accounts by many past tormentors, there is an overwhelming sensation of bliss captured in the words, and newfound motivation brought forth from the careful contemplation in isolation.

Matters of the Heart

By Brian Hendrix

This one just popped into my head while I was trying to get to sleep. It shares a similar title with other songs, but the lyrics here are totally unique. I like the premise of it and how it turned out. Could fit into multiple genres, depending on any type of arrangement one wanted to put to it.
