Bless Us All, Muppet Style

My kids have a favorite Christmas movie (Muppet Christmas Carol). It is one that we watch over, and over, and over. Often I just listen to it in the background of my thoughts as I read or clean or busy myself while the kids watch and sing along. But this year one particular song really struck a chord in me. In fact I wake up each morning hearing the song playing in my head.

I have noticed that more of us who love Christmas are speaking out louder this year. And so I thought I would share my favorite song:

First, the lyrics:

Life is full of sweet surprises
Every day’s a gift
The sun comes up and I can feel it lift my spirit
Fills me up with laughter, fills me up with song
I look into the eyes of love and know that I belong

Bless us all, who gather here
The loving family I hold dear
No place on earth, compares with home
And every path will bring me back from where I roam
Bless us all, that as we live
We always comfort and forgive
We have so much, that we can share
With those in need we see around us everywhere

Let us always love each other
Lead us to the light
Let us hear the voice of reason, singing in the night
Let us run from anger and catch us when we fall
Teach us in our dreams and please, yes please
Bless us one and all

Bless us all with playful years
With noisy games and joyful tears
We reach for You and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams
We ask You bless us all

We reach for You and we stand tall
And in our prayers and dreams we ask you
Bless us all
