LYRICS: O come, O come, Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.

LYRICS: In the streets there are thousands of twinkling lights that go up just once every year as we stroll down the boulevard carollers sing over bustling traffic we hear "Alleluia the Christ, Son-of God is born Alleluia we've waited so long. Alleluia the Christ, Son-of-God has come and the whole world rejoices in song" And the child whose little hand clenched tightly in mine turned to me, burning question in eye "who is this Christ? and what are they singing for?" so I told her the story and why See the Christmas lights? Look at how they shine, just like Jesus Christ, the Light of the World who came to shine at Christmas. For God the Father so loved the world He gave his only Son - Jesus Christ came to die for us all so we might live... "Alleluia the Christ, Son-of God is born Alleluia we've waited so long. Alleluia the Christ, Son-of-God has come and the whole world rejoices in song"

LYRICS: O tidings, O tidings.... God rest ye merry gentlemenLet nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Savior Was born on christmas day To save us all from satan’s power When we were gone astray Oh tidings.. From God our heavenly father The blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings of the same How that in bethlehem was born The son of God by name Oh tidings, O tidings... Comfort and Joy the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light Comfort and joy the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light O tidings, o tidings, comfort & joy Fear not said the angel Let nothing you affright This day is born a savior Of the pure virgin bright To free all those who trust in him From satan’s power and might Oh tidings... And when they came to bethlehem Where our dear Savior lay They found him in the manger Where oxen feed on hay His mother mary kneeled down And to the lord did pray Oh tidings, O tidings... Comfort and Joy the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light Comfort and joy the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light O tidings, o tidings, comfort & joy comfort & joy, comfort & joy God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay.

LYRICS: It came upon the midnight clear,
 That glorious song of old,
 From angels bending near the earth, 
To touch their harps of gold: 
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to men 
From heavens all gracious King! "
The world in solemn stillness lay
 To hear the angels sing. 

O ye beneath life's crushing load,
 Whose forms are bending low, 
Who toil along the climbing way
 With painful steps and slow;
 Look now, for glad and golden hours
 Come swiftly on the wing;
 Oh rest beside the weary road
 And hear the angels sing.

 For lo! the days are hastening on,
 By prophets seen of old,
 When with the ever-circling years
 Shall come the time foretold, 
When peace shall over all the earth
 and ancient splendors fling 
And the whole world send back the song
 Which now the angels sing.

LYRICS: Away in a manger, No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes I love Thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky And stay by my cradle, 'Til morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever And love me I pray Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care And take us to heaven To live with Thee there

about

"Christmas Lights" is Shimona Kee's debut EP, a tribute to the reason for the season: Jesus Christ the Light of the World.
This 5-song EP includes four well-known carols, each covered in Shimona's own eclectic, heart-warming style; and one special acapella song, the title track, written and arranged by Shimona.

"Christmas music has always had a special place in my heart. There’s something about the arrangements and chord structures that one easily associates with that warm feeling you get at Christmas. This Christmas, thanks to the support, belief, and unfailing love from family and friends, I am finally able to release my first ever album!

I am in awe at how God has opened doors and directed me throughout the very quick production of this EP. Simple thanks is not enough - I am overwhelmed by His providence.

Finally, many thanks to YOU WHO HAVE BOUGHT MY DEBUT EP! In this age of digital-piracy, I cannot express how grateful I am that you chose to support my music by purchasing this CD! :) May His blessings be on you & your loved ones this festive season.

Love, ~ Shimona."
