verse one (mickey) this season is all about You and i ain't got a reason to live without You but the noise from the tv is really loud too so busy going shopping it's already round two and it's hard to remember when it's all around you i try recollecting when i first found you it's 'back to my first, back, back to my first love' in a dilemma, what would charlie brown do, huh? and i try to make it all about You, but i want the new things, and the new stuff and more than anything it's feeling like nuisance when i see it all, gotta chuck the deuce up spruce up, baby, cut it cleaner than a crew cut gotta focus on what really moves us giving honor to the King of all the people so i kneel down, TEBOW. chorus i see the snowflakes falling i hear the sleigh bells ringing i see the presents wrapped all under the tree tonight i smell the chestnuts roasting i hear carolers singing it's all so lovely but i call to mind it's all about YOU, YOU, YOU it's all about YOU, YOU, YOU it's all about YOU, YOU, YOU it's all about, it's all about, it's all about verse two (christopher) every year the hype gets bigger see, don't get me wrong but i really wanna figure why every 26th for many it don't last and every other thing from the season gonna pass i know that it's all about You see, i don't understand why we make it untrue for the three wise men definitely had You in their hearts so they confidently followed Your truth now remember back, back in the day mary had a baby, little lamb in the hay born in a place, from a lack of a space didn't need a better room, still i wanna complain i'm going back to my first love it ain't Him? nothing ever gonna be enough yesss, the joy isn't seasonal bring it back every day could be beautiful chorus bridge i'm blinded and veiled from the joy of Your glory though i know it's all around me i'll open my eyes to the vision of YOU, YOU, YOU chorus

verse one (mickey) if the past is a gift unwrapped the future's a surprise gift the present is a present have you seen what is inside it? how many of us are present but never present living but not alive and living without His presence see, the enemy will trap us in the past full of shame and keep us from the future full of fear and even though our God is so faithful yesterday and tomorrow His Spirit's living within us right here throw some SHABA on it! chorus so can we raise a toast to all the lovely folks it may be cold this winter but ya'll got me warm like toast and can we raise a glass to all the moments passed we looking to the future never looking back! see the holidays are nice i don't have to think twice cause Your presence is enough just to fill my heart up with JOY! verse two (david) His presence is the present i presently know and cherish the parish declareth the joy of the Lord will never perish His portion i inherit, His name the Holy Spirit never gonna sell my joy and if you want it you can GET ITT cause it's your's for free, a treasure to me i keep it locked up and i lock the key never give it away cause He payed the price in the form of a man named Jesus Christ so break out that christmas swag knit sweaters and all that jazz eggnogs go all around just know i got this round chorus bridge underneath it all i see the heart of it we made it more, much more than what it truly was to see His love extend to all the hearts of us we love Your presence, we love Your presence and through it all, i've learned to see the truth of it to keep it pure and trust in Him, the Holy One to keep in mind, He's come to make us new in Him we love Your presence, we love Your presence verse three (mickey) so this one's for the hecka saved no room for the hecka fake how do you expect to take His presence if His presence isn't moving in you now let's celebrate the sound that's ringing occupying wall street? i'm finna occupy His Kingdom i got the joy that the devil tries to rob and steal but i know my God is real so i just say no, monopoly deal i got this shield that's made of the faith that i always carry joy to the world and mozzletoff gonna set it off right here good cheer, stay merry! chorus

i could hear that music play as it carries that sound of christmas louder than the sound of the reindeer's sleigh taken back in time to a place so different sitting in class, waiting for the school bell just a kid there doing what i do well looking at the wall, images of kids too poor to afford any gifts and i'm thinking... am i way too comfortable? sitting here eating my lunchables santa, are you thinking of the homeless too? cause if you aren't i'm finna blow a hole in you just playing, but i'm glad that we drove to the shelter giving to the kids who were just my age and even though the moment didn't last forever i felt... joy is in this place joy is in this place joy is in this place joy is in this place cause in your presence i will, i will remain in your presence i will, i will remain i still remember those holidays a dark, cold night during college days and even though my mom was a call away i remember feeling joy just fall away loneliness crept in like the grinch does it didn't feel like a very white christmas just me and this tiny television in a cold room doing dishes and i pictured how it's supposed to be lights hung around that christmas tree santa climbing down that chimney charlie brown teaching me what christmas mean and i pondered what christmas is a christmas list full of expensive gifts? or maybe it's a time God calls to mind that ours hearts are where the presence of His Spirit lives and where the Spirit is no depression lives no loneliness, only His perfect gifts full of holiness, full of joy and peace full of righteousness, full of all i need from mourning to dancing, sorrow to joy if tomorrow is void i'll remain in Your plans i'm raising my hands i rejoice and i dance cause... joy is in this place joy is in this place joy is in this place joy is in this place cause in your presence i will, i will remain in your presence i will, i will remain in your presence, oh God there is fullness of joy at your right hand, oh God there are pleasures evermore

What is I Heart Justice?

I Heart Justice is a Christian organization that believes in CHANGE through PRAYER first and foremost, but also CHANGE through ACTION. Moreover, we believe that the biggest injustice in the world today is not the sex trafficking of thousands of young girls and boys in Thailand today nor is it the millions of orphans and homeless dying of hunger in Africa and the Philippines, but we believe the Biggest INJUSTICE is the trafficking of SOULS by Satan today. It is the daily robbing and deception of Satan from the joy, the real and intimate fellowship, the fullness of Life that is ours as Sons and Daughters of the Most High God, our Lord and Savior, Our Heavenly Father. If you are at all interested in joining, supporting, or donating to I <3 Justice, please feel free to contact us at Choilaw@gmail.com. All proceeds to I <3 Justice will directly go towards the fundraising efforts for our main project this year which is to support 3 orphans for 10 years each through Compassion International.
