This is a not-quite-secular carol for Advent—a song about the fun of getting ready for Christmas. It’s meant to be sung with plenty of frosting on top.

The sheet music for “We Prepare” is available in our Free Stuff area, in three different forms: one with full piano accompaniment, one with the vocal part only, and one with the vocal refrain only. (That last is how I used it in my church: with me singing the verses and the congregation singing the refrain.)
A delightful, tongue in check advent song but not very likely to catch on!
Oh dear — did it sound tongue-in-cheek? I was trying to be sincere! Underneath this cynical exterior, you know, there’s a soppy sentimentalist trying to get out.
But I agree that it’s not very likely to catch on. It lacks that commercial appeal. I’ll get started on something a little more marketable. How about something for Lady Gaga? It needs a solid hook, though — what about, Hot for Christmas? Or has that already been done?
Very nice. Thanks Adam. O pray that your ministry prove to bless you and your family, as it blesses so many of us.
